fiercely. Deep in our valley, we felt only sudden gusts of wind; trees swayed but the branches
held firm.

inconvenient but they did not really trouble us great. (2) _________ It reminded us of what could
have occurred if circumstances had been different, if the flow of water from the hills had not,
many years before, been controlled, held back by

over the hills to the west. Sinister grey clouds extended over the valleys. (3) _________ We had
seen enough of the sky; now we began to watch the river, which every day was becoming fuller

river seemed maddened as the waters poured almost horizontally down to its lower stretches. Just
a couple of meters from our cottage, the stream seemed wild beneath the bridge. (5) _________

our home in the valley is still secure and safe.
