When the Earth Shakes

When the Earth Shakes It was a day Tony would never forget. He was playing with his friends in the yard. All of a sudden, there was a strange noise. Then, everything started to shake. Tony saw that his house was moving. Dogs were barking. Chickens were running around in fear. A horse was standing upright on its back legs. What was it? Tony had no idea. Some of the kids fell down and others were trying to keep from falling. A woman ran outside and shouted, ” Hurry! It’s an earthquake. Get away from the building! ”

当地震发生时 那是一个托尼永远不会忘记的日子。他正跟他的朋友们在院子里玩耍。突然，传来一阵阵奇怪的声音。然后，世界都开始晃动。 托尼看到，房子正在移动。狗狗用力的狂吠。鸡群慌乱地跑来跑去。一匹马正在用它的后蹄站立着。发生什么事儿了，托尼一点儿主意都没有。 有一些小孩子摔倒了，另外一些正在试图维持体型防止摔倒。 一个女人跑了出来，大声喊道：“快跑，是地震。跑到远离建筑物的地方去。”

Tony was so scared that he couldn’t move. The woman grabbed him and led him away from the building. It was his first earthquake. Tony was shocked to learn that the ground he stood on every day could shake! And that shaking could hurt a ot of people.

托尼已经害怕到不能移动。女人抓住他把他拖到了远离建筑物的地方。 这是他头一次经历地震。 托尼震惊地了解到，他每天站立的这片土地是会震动的，而这种震动会伤害很多人。
