接連下了五天傾盆大雨，森林里的小河決堤了。烏龜、青蛙、水獺和兔子就住在小河邊，他們的家都被河水淹沒了，他們得趕緊離開這里，找到一個安全的地方。可是，安全的地方在哪里呢？Let’s read the story.

Turtle， Frog， Otter and Rabbit are good friends.

They live（居?。?by a long river in the forest.

They often play together happily（快樂地）.

One day， dark clouds gather（聚集） in the sky.

The sun disappears（消失） behind the clouds.

The sky gets darker and darker.

Now it is raining cats and dogs（傾盆大雨）.

After five days of rain， the river begins to rise（升高）.

The river bursts its banks（決堤）.

Water comes into Otter’s house.

The house is flooded（被淹沒）.

Otter hurries to Frog’s house.

It is flooded there， too.

“Let’s go to Turtle’s house，” says Otter.

They swim to Turtle’s house.

“All my things are in water，” cries Turtle.

They can’t stay there.

“Let’s go and see Rabbit，” says Frog.

They swim to Rabbit’s house.

Rabbit is crying and everything is a mess（一團糟）.

Tables and chairs are floating（漂?。?

Only a big tree is still there.

“We can’t stay here，” says Otter.

“We should go to a safe place（安全的地方），” says Frog.

“Let’s swim and find a way out，” says Turtle.

“How can we find a way out？”asks Rabbit.

“Don’t worry. I have an idea，” says Turtle.

“Let’s swim towards four directions（朝著四個方向）.

Then we meet beside the tree.”

Rabbit swims towards the west（西方）.

Oh， the water is so deep！

Frog swims towards the east（東方）.

The way is so long！

Otter swims towards the south（南方）.

The current（水流） is very fast！

Turtle swims towards the north（北方）.

Luckily， he finds a safe place.

They swim back and meet beside the tree.

“There is a safe place in the north，” says Turtle.

So， they follow Turtle and swim to the safe place.

“We’re safe now，” says Otter.

“You are a hero， Turtle，” says Rabbit.

“Everyone is a hero，” says Turtle.

“Yes， unity is strength，” says Frog.

“Let’s build our new home together.”
