When Rocks Began to Fall from the Sky

When Rocks Began to Fall from the Sky

A Short Story by Jasmin, Std 5
3/3/11

One day it began to get dark. The people began to get scared. All of them thought it was going to rain, but suddenly things began to fall. People saw black rocks falling from the sky like rain. They had to get in their houses so the rocks couldn’t hit them.

The river began to get full of rocks. Fish were all smashed because rocks had fallen on top of them. Animals in the forest began to die. Birds had to migrate from one place to another. The houses began to creak and groan like they were going to fall. Some people fainted because they were so scared.

When it was all over, the sky became blue again. Branches on the trees were all broken. People began to migrate too, like the birds. They migrated because they said if that happened again they did not want to get affected again.
