A STORM IN THE HILLS

One afternoon in autumn, Sarah and three friends walked in the hills. There were black
clouds and then it started to rain. The children put on their raincoats and after that they
went into a cave because it was cold. The children weren’t happy because the rain didn’t
stop, so Sarah phoned her dad and asked him to look for them. One hour later, Sarah’s
dad arrived and drove the children home. In the end, the children were happy in Sarah’s
house, and they had hot chocolate and cake.
