“Let us hurry up” said Allan. They started running but Mike was left behind. He was not as fast as his brother. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him but could not keep up.

Mike pushed himself forward but felt like he was standing still. “Allan I cant run faster! Wait for me,” he called. “I cant see well. It is misty. We should shelter under these trees.” Allan came running back. “No, no we have to keep moving. At least it is not very foggy,” he said wiping water from his eyes, “It is very dangerous to shelter under trees in a storm. The lightning may strike a tree and kill us. there is a hut just around the corner. We can shelter there.”
They began to run again. Mike had regained more strength and this time, kept up with his brother. By now the rain was falling fast.

The sky was suddenly full of brilliant light and as bright as a sunny day. They could make out houses as far as the horizon. The lighting lasted five seconds. Then, there was a loud crash and the ground shook violently. Mike stopped and covered his ears with his hands. Allan put his arm around him and helped him hurry into the hut. They sat in the middle of the floor. It was dry there.
“Don’t be frightened, “Allan said.” The thunder can not hurt you. Do you remember what grandmother told us? She said that thunder is the noise made by an irritated goddess throwing cans, kettles and plates at her husband.” Mike laughed excitedly.
When rain had abated, Allan and his brother quickly walked home. They were still soaked in water. They could not wait to put on some dry clothes and drink grandmother’s sweet porridge.
