"Yes. I am Mary," the little girl says, getting up still holding the cup and picking up the bouquet as well. “I was playing and got separated from mom. Mr. Raccoon gave me these so I wouldn’t be sad. You can’t see Mr. Raccoon though. He turns invisible when there are grown-ups present.”

“I saw a hedgehog,” Mary explains. “Then I got lost. Then I met Mr. Raccoon who said that if I don’t know where I am going and someone is looking for me, it is better to stay put and wait to be found rather than walk and end up even further away.”

“I didn’t pick them. Mr. Raccoon gave them to me when we were waiting. And the yummies too. Only they don’t taste very yummy to me.”

Looking at the cup, the mother says: “Did you eat that? Honey, that is for the birds. Someone must have left the cup for them. You shouldn’t eat things you pick up from the ground.”

“Yes, everything is fine,” the mother answers. “These kind people found my daughter. Sorry for the trouble.”

“Thank you, kind people,” Mary says. “And bye.”

As little Mary and her mother head away, mother pushing the baby cart and Mary holding her flowers, the ranger turns to Gertrud and Franz (Alan and Samantha in disguise): “My thanks for your help as well. The forests on park grounds may be among the safest to get lost in, but it is still not a good feeling if a little kid goes missing for long.”
