The Rumor About the Storm

Last week, a big storm came to our town.

Before it arrived, a message spread on many phones.

The message said, "A dam is broken, and water will cover the town!" Some people believed it and ran to the hills.

But the message was not true.

A woman named Mei saw the message and called the town office.

She asked, "Is the dam safe?" The officer checked and said, "Yes, it is safe.

That message is a rumor." Mei then wrote a short, clear post online.

She told everyone the facts and asked them to stay calm.

Many people shared her post, and the town stayed quiet and safe.
