The weatherman said there was going to be a terrible storm, but the weather was so nice. Molly's mother was going to buy some batteries（电池）in the corner store to prepare for the storm, although Molly thought it wasn't necessary.
Her mum left and was back an hour later. It was about 6:00 p.m., and the sky began to turn dark because of the black clouds. The wind also started to pick up. Then the rain started to beat against the windows. The trees shook hard. Some of the neighbours' plants fell off their windows. "I'm scared," said Molly to her mother. The storm lasted for about thirty minutes, long enough to make the lights go out and the old trees fall over. Even Gretchen, the cat, was staying quietly under the sofa. Molly's mother lit some candles so they could see their way around the house. "What about dinner?" asked Molly. Her mother bought
some fish when she went to the corner store. "I had a feeling that we wouldn't be able to cook, so I bought the food and some bread," said Molly's mother. They ate the fish and the bread by candlelight. "You know, this is kind of fun. It's almost like camping," said Molly.
Later that night, the lights came back on. Molly said, "Although it was a scary time, my mother stayed with me all the time."
