6-6 The Lighthouse 灯塔

The Lighthouse

A storm comes in the night. Waves crash on the rocks. The wind blows. In the lighthouse it is warm and dry. Dad makes some hot drinks. "Thanks, Dad," says Rob. "I am happy to spend my vacation here with you."

Dad checks the light. "That light is really bright," says Rob. "Yes, it keeps ships safe," says Dad. "Come on, it is time for bed." Suddenly, the power goes off. The lights go out.

"We need to get that light back on!" says Dad. "The emergency power is upstairs." They try to go up the stairs. But Dad falls and hurts his leg.

"I cannot move," says Dad. "I can't turn the power on. Without the light, ships will hit the rocks." "I can help," says Rob. "Let me try, Dad." Rob holds the flashlight. He finds his way up the stairs.

The wind blows hard outside. It is dark. Rob is scared. Carefully, he finds the power box. Rob turns on the power. ' The light shines brightly. He can see a ship. It is coming near the rocks.
