Do you know what an earthquake is? When I was five years old my country had an earthquake. In an earthquake, the ground begins to move. The buildings fall. There are big cracks in the land. I was afraid when the earth began to shake. I was at shcool in kindergarten. My class crawled under the desks. The books fell to the floor. Pictures came off the walls. The ceiling started to crack. The children were screaming and crying. I sat very still. I was afraid to move. I wanted my mother and father but they were at work.
