AFTER THE STORM

It was early in September and most people in our village had prepared their shambas.Now they were waiting on curiusly for the rain to begin so that they could plant their crops.The rains finally came one sunday evening.First there were just a few drops but then a frightening storm began.A strong wind blew the rain poured down,adn trees and house were shaken by the thunder.The rain continued until late in the night.The following morning there were pools of water everywhere and the ground was covered with broken branches.When the children at our school arrived at their school that morning they coudl hardly believe their eyes.The two class had been completely destroyed.All that remainded of the building was a heap of mud,poles and a torn roofing.
