The Storm on Grey Hill

Mia and her brother Leo planned a day hike on Grey Hill, but they did not check the weather report carefully.

When they reached the top, dark clouds were moving fast across the sky.

Leo wanted to keep going because they had come so far, yet Mia noticed the wind getting stronger.

She remembered a rule from her outdoor club: when the weather changes quickly, turn back early.

Leo was not happy about it, but he agreed to follow her.

On the way down, they heard thunder and saw lightning above the hill.

They put on their rain jackets and walked quickly toward the car park.

Halfway there, they met a ranger who told them a storm was coming.

He said many hikers wait too long because they do not want to give up.

Mia felt glad they had made the safe choice.

Back at the car, the rain was heavy, and they could not see the hill at all.

Leo said he would check the forecast next time before leaving home.
