The Storm and the Helping Hands

Last Friday, a big storm hit Ben's small town.

Strong wind blew down trees, and rain filled the streets with water.

Ben's family stayed inside and listened to the radio.

The radio said, "Please stay home and help your neighbors." In the morning, Ben saw that an old tree fell on Mr.

Lee's fence.

Mr.

Lee lives alone and cannot fix it.

Ben called his friends, and they came with tools.

They worked together for two hours and moved the tree away.

Mr.

Lee smiled and gave them warm soup.

The town learned that people can be strong when they help each other.
