Her mom left and was back an hour later.It was about 6：00 p．m., and the sky began to turn dark because of the black clouds.The wind also started to blow strongly. Then the rain started to pound (连续重击)against the windows.The trees shook hard.Some of the neighbors' plants fell off their windows.“I'm scared，” Molly said to her mother.The storm lasted for about thirty minutes, long enough to make the lights go out and the old trees fall over.Even Gretchen, the cat, was staying quietly under the sofa. Molly's mother lit some candles so they could see their way around the house.“What about dinner？” asked Molly.Her mother bought some fish and bread when she went to the corner store.“I had a feeling that we wouldn't be able to cook, so I bought the food.” They ate the fish and bread by candlelight.“You know, this is kind of fun.It's almost like camping，” said Molly.
Later that night, the lights came back on.Molly said, “Although it was a scary time, I did have fun.”
