In India in 1988 at 4:30 pm I was walking with my family.  Suddenly a flood of water came rushing by us. I said to my family, “Run or we’ll die.” We ran as fast as cheetahs. But the waster rushed even faster. We slowed down. And the waster caught us. We were drowning.  I tried to float to save my family.  They were all alive. I saw many other families on the water and lots of children were missing. We tried to find them. I said to the adults  “They might be under the water.”  We searched again.  We found some of them. We were lucky. They were alive and also we had food in the water or in the house. We decided to ask people in the families to find help and find people with boats to rescue others. A few hours later we found help. We were rescued. We were starving and so hungry we ate like Vikings and monsters and the services made a deal and our houses were fixed.
