A county located at the foot of a high mountain has beautiful scenery.So it is the destination of many visitors every year.Unfortunately,one day an earthquake broke out there,which was one of the most destructive natural disasters.It was natural that a person couldn't keep his head when a terrible disaster occurred,not to mention the children.Some cried; some were scared and even became numb.Others hugged each other tightly.Luckily,only a small number of people were badly injured,and most suffered slight injuries.Everywhere people looked,there was nothing but ruins.They were in shock.Soon after the quake,the rescue team arrived.After confirming that most people were safe and sound,the leader smiled with relief.Some charities immediately supplied the county with food,shelters and funds;many individuals also began to donate some food and clothes to the victims the moment they were informed of the news.
