'''"Little Girl Lost"''' is an episode of the The Twilight Zone''.

==Opening narration==

==Synopsis==
A couple, Chris and Ruth, are awoken by the distant whimpering of their little girl, Tina, and Chris slowly gets up to see what the trouble is. The dog in their yard begins to bark. Chris finds her bed empty, though he can hear Tina's plea for help. Looking around the room, he says, “I’m here, where are you?” The dog barks again in the back yard.

Chris crouches next to the bed while trying to talk Tina out from underneath it, where he thinks she is hiding. He looks under the bed only to find that nothing is there. Chris can hear Tina and she can hear him, but neither can see each other. He explains to Ruth that even though they can hear her, their little girl is no longer with them.

The dog is now barking incessantly. Chris calls his physicist friend, Bill, for help and opens the door to let the dog into the house. The dog runs into Tina’s room as Ruth, still in the room, watches it go under the bed. She bends over calling it back, but becomes quiet when she sees that it has disappeared. She can still hear the dog's barking and Tina's voice. 

Bill comes over and examines the wall behind the bed. He taps the wall and finds a portal to another dimension. He explains it by saying sometimes lines in our 3 dimensions end parallel, rather than perpendicular to, the 4th dimension.

They try to call to the dog to guide Tina back, but that doesn't work.  Finally Chris, despite Bill's warnings, leans into the portal and falls into the other dimension. Chris lands in a hazy, abstract place, where space and shapes are distorted, turning upside down and sideways. Chris sees Tina and the dog and tries to call them towards him, since he is standing right near the portal.  On the other side, he hears Bill's voice telling him to hurry up.  Finally he grabs Tina and the dog and is pulled back into the bedroom.  Ruth takes the girl to another room.

Bill explains that Chris was actually only halfway in, despite Chris thinking he was standing up in the new dimension. Bill was in fact holding on to Chris the entire time. He was telling Chris to hurry because the portal was actually closing, and had Chris remained there for any longer than a few more seconds, he would have been cut in two as the portal closed with half his body in the other dimension.

== Plot ==

=== Opening ===

=== Verhaal ===
De openingsscène toont een koppel, Chris en Ruth, slapend in hun bed. Ze horen vreemde geluiden uit de kamer van hun dochtertje Tina. Wanneer ook de hond in hun achtertuin begint te blaffen, besluit Chris een kijkje te gaan nemen. Hij ontdekt dat Tina’s bed leeg is. Ondanks dat hij Tina niet meer in de kamer ziet, hoort hij haar wel om hulp roepen.

Chris doorzoekt te hele kamer, maar nergens is een spoor van Tina. Desondanks kan hij haar wel horen en zij hem ook. Uiteindelijk belt Chris zijn vriend Bill, die natuurkundige is, op voor hulp. Ook laat hij de hond binnen, die meteen naar Tina’s kamer rent. Niet veel later is ook de hond verdwenen, maar net als bij Tina horen ze hem nog wel.

Bill arriveert en onderzoekt de muur achter het bed. Hij tast de muur af en vindt een poort naar een andere dimensie. Hij vertelt Chris en Ruth dat ze waarschijnlijk een weg hebben ontdekt naar een vierde dimensie, een die los staat van de drie dimensie van de normale wereld. Tina en de hond zijn waarschijnlijk door de poort gekropen.
