1--The other night we were watching TV and the
strangest thing happened.
2--Really?What?
1--It was during that thunderstorm we had. You
remember. It poured down rain and there was
a lot of lightning and thunder.
2--I remember quite well. The children were
frightened, and the dog ran hid under the bed!
1--Well, anyway, the lightning flashed a number of
times, and we were going to turn off the TV.
That's when this strange thing hapened.
2--I hope the lightning didn't hit your TV!
1--Oh, nothing as serious as that. But, suddenly the
TV began to change channels rapidly--all by itself!
2--That's weird 2.
1--I'll say! It was a little scary, too!
