Badai Petir

Pada musim hujan, banyak kota mengalami badai petir. Langit menjadi gelap, awan tebal bergerak pelan, lalu angin dingin bertiup. Tiba tiba, kilat terlihat di langit. Suara guntur datang beberapa detik setelah kilat. Hujan turun deras, jalan basah, dan orang orang mencari tempat aman. Ia menutup jendela dan mematikan kipas. Anak anak duduk dekat ibu, mereka merasa takut tetapi juga ingin tahu. Saat badai, semua orang sebaiknya berada di dalam rumah. Mereka tidak bermain di luar, tidak berdiri di bawah pohon, dan tidak memakai payung logam. Listrik kadang mati, sehingga rumah menjadi gelap. Setelah hujan reda, udara terasa sejuk, burung bernyanyi lagi, dan langit tampak bersih. Keluarga itu keluar sebentar untuk melihat pelangi kecil.
