The daughter disappeared
The parents lost their little daughter when she was playing on the playground. The police didn’t find her. The case was deemed as unsolved, and the investigation was closed. But the parents refused to give up. And they decided to contact a medium. This medium often helped the police and could often point out the exact location of a criminal or a missing person. When the medium arrived a few days later, she asked the parents to take her to the place where they had last seen their daughter. The mother and father took the medium to the park and watched her sit down on the grass, close her eyes, and do into a trance. Then she exclaimed, “Your daughter is alive! Her heart is beating and her lungs are breathing.” The happy parents held hands tightly. The mother asked, “But where is she now?” “She sees a luxurious house with expensive furniture,” the medium continued, “And only the most delicious food is in her stomach”. The mother breathed a sigh of relief again and pleaded, "But where is our daughter? Please tell us!" The medium hesitated for a while. Then her eyes opened wide, and she screamed, "She’s all over the world!" For a while, the parents of the missing girl stood motionless with their mouths wide open. Then they suddenly understood what the medium meant and fell on the floor, crying bitterly. What happened to the girl?
