Question

Carson was having dinner with his mother and sisters one evening. Suddenly his younger sister asked, "Why does it look like that outside?" Everyone looked out of the window on the north side of the kitchen. They saw the sun shining brightly in a blue sky. Then,they looked out of the window on the south side of the kitchen. They saw a dark sky with big,grey clouds. Next,they heard the tornado siren (龍卷風(fēng)警報(bào)).That meant a tornado was coming. They all knew that during a tornado the safest place to be is underground. Luckily,they had a basement (地下室). They all ran quickly into the basement. Suddenly,Carson remembered the pet cat,Pete. "Mum,we forgot Pete!" Carson yelled, "I will go upstairs and find him!" But his mother said, "No,Carson! It's too dangerous. The tornado is coming. You have to stay down here." All at once they heard the very loud noise of a very strong wind. It was so loud that they could not even hear their own screams although they were screaming. Everyone was very scared. Just a few seconds later,it was over. The tornado went away and everyone was safe. Carson ran upstairs and found that the house was badly damaged and that Pete was gone. He began to cry and went outside. He saw that all the trees were knocked down except one. At the top of that tree was Pete,looking at Carson and waiting for him to help him get down.
