Sunlight had faded from the late-afternoon sky. Puffy snowclouds were moving in. Let's hurry. I'm cold, said Jack. He and Annie were walking home from school. TheirChristmas vacation was just beginning. Cooo--cooo. Wait, said Annie. Look. She pointed
Finally, the hugging and crying and laughing dieddown. The villagers started walking back to theirhuts. Jack and Annie followed Boka, Kama, and theirparents. We felt the ground shaking, said Boka and Kama'sfather. We knew a big wave might follow!Jack

Jack had to find out more about tsunamis quickly. He read as fast as he could: A tsunami can strike a few hours--or a fewminutes!--after an earthquake. It depends on thestrength of the earthquake and where it took place. After earthquakes, it is safe
Slowly the feast came to an end. The guests wipedtheir plates with their last bits of bread. Then theywiped their hands and faces with their napkins. Jack and Annie stood up. We have to go home, Annie said to Priscilla. Ah, thou must go back to thine
Good day, Priscilla! said Annie. 11Good day, said Priscilla. She walked to them. Didthou fill the basket with eels and clams?Not really, said Jack. The eel didn't want to get caught, said Annie. And the clams live to be so old! We didn't think itwas
