One Stormy Night

That night, Jessica helped

her mother close the windows.
The wind was howling.
Droplets of rain started pelting
the roof. “Go find the candles
and I will get the matches,”
said her mother. Lightning
flashed. A clap of thunder
followed. Soon after, the lights
went off. “A blackout!”
shouted Jessica. “Don’t be
alarmed. It’s a good thing we
have what we need,” said
mother.
