The Storm
By Cathy Pearl 		  
1     Rose could hear a rumbling outside. It sounded far away. She knew what that sound was. It meant that a thunderstorm was coming.
 
2     Rose was outside when she heard the thunder. She put her bike in the garage. When you could hear thunder, it meant there was lightning. That was really dangerous. Rose didn't want to get hit by lightning. It would really hurt her.
 
3     Before Rose went into the house, she went into the backyard and found her sister. Eve was in the pool. "Come on, Eve," Rose said. "You have to get out of the water."
 
4     "Why?" asked Eve. "I wasn't done swimming yet."
