The Night of the Storm - by Danya Elliott

Once upon a time on a cold night there was a girl, her two brothers, and their uncle and aunt. They lived near an old old village in the country. One night one of the boys tried coming out into the night where it was dark and cold. Wind blew in his face. Suddenly there was a great BIG wind! The boy ran back inside! He ran to wake up his aunt and uncle. Lightening struck the ground outside! Soon there would be a huge tornado. Finally the aunt and uncle woke up. The young boy said, "Hurry, hurry! There's going to be a tornado!" They all ran to wake up the others. Everybody ran down to the storm cellar.

They brought all the stuff they had in the house down that they could, down into the storm cellar. They brought cups and water. They had to bring a flashlight in case power went out. Finally everybody got into the storm cellar with everything they needed; blankets, pillows, and all the food that they could carry. The tornado hit as they were just getting safe. They were okay because of what the boy had told them! Everybody thanked him and cheered for him. Everybody was safe and was very cheerful.

The End

Amazing story! I was rapt on how the young boy reacted so quickly. He sure has a lot of courage and quick thinking. If not for that boy, his family wouldn’t have known that there was a storm coming. Having a storm cellar is a “must”, most especially if you’re in a place where hurricanes and tornados are frequent.
