"Thank you, mister!"
A young girl spoke, dipping her head slightly and making her curls bounce as she thanked one of the venders as he handed over her purchase. Stick of cotton candy in hand, Mania shifted quickly on her heels. Her mother and brother were no where in sight, but that wasn't too much of a problem. She was certain that they were just barely out of sight, since she
had told them that she was getting cotton candy. Of course, she had told her mother that she was going with her sibling, but she had been so excited that she had forgotten to ask him to go with her.
Not in the least bit discouraged or worried, the little bunny ears atop her head began to wiggle, listening closely to the sounds all around her. With hearing that was better than that of most humans, she would find them in no time! Instead of their voices, though, she heard the voice of another child! They were calling out for their father, too.
Immediately, she ran toward the voice crying out, determined to help, just like Mommy helped people. "Excuse me? Is someone lost?" She called out in return, closing the space between her and where she thought she heard the voice coming from as she dodged around the feet of adults.
