There was a big flood near our house in spring. The water came
down from the mountain and the hills, the river came up and
up, and a lot of the houses on the low land were soon under
the water.
The Red Cross sent some men, and they brought food and
dry clothes, and took some people to higher ground in boats.
One old man lives in a small house near our river. He is a
poor man, and there aren't any other houses near his. There
was a lot of rain one night, and in the morning the old man
looked out of his window and saw the flood. The water was
nearly up to his bedroom window.
The water came up and up, and the old man went to the top
floor of his house. Then the flood was worse, and he went up
on to the roof.
"What am I going to do?" he said. "The water's very deep,
and I can't swim."
But after three hours the old man saw a boat. It came slowly
near, and the old man saw two young men in it.
"We've come from the Red Cross," one of the young men
called, "and . . ."
"I'm sorry," the old man answered, "but I've just given you
some money this month, and I haven't got much. I'm a poor
man."
