Flood in My Village
Last year, there was a terrible flood in my village. It happened after a week of heavy rain. The river near our area overflowed and the water entered many houses.

At that time, my family and I were at home. Suddenly, water started coming in from the front yard. We quickly moved our things to a higher place. We also helped our neighbors who were panicking.

It was a scary experience, but it taught us the importance of keeping our environment clean and not throwing trash into the river.
