How One Girl Saved Many Lives

On 26 December 2004, Tilly Smith, a 10-year-old English schoolgirl, was on holiday in Thailand with her family. While they were walking on the beach, Tilly noticed something strange: thick white froth on the waves, and the waves were coming in instead of going out.

She remembered her geography teacher had explained that earthquakes under the sea can cause tsunamis. She told her family there would be a big wave. At first, they didn’t believe her, but Tilly refused to move further. Finally, most of the family returned to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Tilly’s father told a security guard. The guard knew about the earthquake nearby and realized a tsunami was coming. He rushed to warn everyone on the beach. Just as the huge wave hit, everyone had left the beach safely.

Thanks to Tilly’s knowledge and quick thinking, over 100 lives were saved that day.

11.                    Where was Tilly when she noticed the strange waves?

A. At home in England.

B. On holiday in Thailand.
