What's your answer
1 My mother and I were staying in a town near Pompeii. The earth shook these days. That night, I was sleeping when the ground shook very hard.My mother rushed into my room to wake me up. We had to stay outside for the night. My mother was so scared, She didn’t shut her eyes for even one second, By six o’clock the next morning, many buildings were still shaking. We decided to leave the town.
2 The road was crowded. We were at a place out of town. Just then,shocking things happened, Our coach couldn’t go straight ahead. It began to move from side to side. The sea moved back suddenly, and many sea animals were left on the sand.
3 We noticed a very dark cloud over Mount Vesuvius. Soon, the cloud moved down and covered the sea. My mother asked me to continue without her, but I refused to leave her behind. We moved on while the cloud was spreading over the land like a flood. It turned day into night.The air was thick with smoke and ash began to fall in heavy showers.All around us, women were calling, children were crying and men were shouting. People were trying to find their families in the dark.
4 Thankfully, after a while, the daylight returned! Everything was covered in ash, like the snow in winter, After a night of living between hope and fear, we had no thoughts of things to come.
