Tim and Sue wanted to play in the old store. They liked to look at the old things and pretend they were new. But their mom said no. She said the store was dirty and dangerous. She said there were many cobwebs and rats and broken glass. She said they could get hurt or sick.
But Tim and Sue did not listen. They waited until mom was busy and ran to the store. They opened the door and went inside. It was dark and dusty. They saw many cobwebs on the walls and ceiling. They saw some rats run away. They saw some broken glass on the floor. They did not care. They thought it was fun.
They found some old clothes and hats and shoes. They tried them on and laughed. They found some old toys and books and games. They played with them and had fun. They did not see the sign that said "Danger! Do not enter!"
They did not hear the creaking sound. They did not feel the floor shaking. They did not notice the crack in the wall. They did not know the store was going to fall.
The store fell down with a loud noise. Tim and Sue screamed. They were trapped under the rubble. They could not move. They could not see. They could not breathe. They were scared and hurt and sad.
Their mom heard the noise. She ran to the store. She saw the dust and smoke. She saw the rubble and the sign. She cried and cried. She called for help. But it was too late. Tim and Sue were gone.
