My parents and I went to the park on last Sunday. There were lots of visitors stood in front of the ticket window. We waited for a long time and buy three tickets. In the Tiger Mountain of the park，I was too eager to see the fierce frightened animals that I quickened my steps through the crowd. Unfortunate，I got separated from my parents.
