It was a dark and stormy night. Emmy had to work on a report about storms for class. Emmy worked on her computer. She found lots of facts online.
Emmy found out that hot air can rise and get cooler. She found out that when that happens, rain forms and drops. She found out that lightning forms. Then it heats that cooler air. And when that air expands, we hear thunder.
Crash! Emmy jumped when the thunder crashed. Emmy liked to hear the rain. But she didn’t like to hear thunder. Suddenly, Emmy’s computer screen turned black. “No! No!” Emmy cried. “All the lights went out!” Emmy quickly grabbed a flashlight.
