A. PASSAGE
It could happen to you!
You probably can't imagine being caught up in the middle of a tornado, a hurricane or a
flood, but don't be so sure that it could never happen to you! We spoke to John about his
experience...
Are you afraid of water? Well John is! He had terrible nightmares about drowning. In the
nightmares there was always heavy rain, he said, and then water swept me away. I desperately
shouted for help, but noone ever came. I woke up very scared, but happy that it was just a bad
dream. Last year, while John was on holiday in Cornwall, his horrible dream came true! One
morning, he decided to go for a cup of tea in the village. On his way, he went into a little shop to
buy some postcards. As he entered the shop, it started to rain heavily. Nice weather for ducks,
said the lady in the shop. I hope the river doesn't burst its banks again like last year, she added.
John oppened the door to leave the shop, but as soon as he stepped out, water swept him off his feet
and washed him down the road. Oh no! The river!. he thought, terrified. Then, suddenly, he hit a
lamppost. He quickly grabbed it and pulled himself out of the water. He was wet and cold, but very
relieved to be alive!
