Caught in a flood
Mary and her parents were downstairs in the living room. Mary was looking through the windows at the endless rain outside. It had been raining non-stop for three days. She had never seen a storm this bad. It was making her nervous. The wind roared and the rain beat on the roof and windows. Dad was listening to a weather report on the radio, while Mum was putting their important documents and disaster supplies into a bag,
“Mum, Dad,” said Mary suddenly, “I think we should leave here right away!"“No,"said Dad. “It’s too late: The radio says the city has already been flooded.”
“We can drive our car through the floodwater Let’s us leave! I’m really scared!” cried Mary.“We can't do that, honey,” explained Mum, “otherwise the moving water could wash the car away!"
Mary walked to the door. She was curious to see how much water there was outside.“Don't open the door!” shouted Mum and Dad at the same time. “The water may flood in!”
Dad moved the dinner table against the door, in case the floodwater forced the door open. Mum waved to Mary to sit on the sofa. “Mary, don't worry. Everything's going to be OK,” she said softly, trying her best to comfort Mary. Her voice was calm, but Mary could tell she was worried too.
Without saying a single word, Dad walked to the sofa, sat down and hugged his wife and daughter. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside. What could they do?
