It's very common to see lightning storms(雷雨) in summer. Some people don't take them carefully. In fact, lightning storms are very dangerous for people, and they can even kill people.

So how do we keep safe during a lightning storm?

If you are indoors, stay away from windows and doors during a lightning storm. Don't take a shower or do the dishes because lightning can travel through water. Turn off the TV and computer. My computer was broken, so I learned it the hard way. Never use the phone. Lightning can travel through the phone line and hit you.

If you are outdoors during a lightning storm, never take shelter(庇护) under a tree because the lightning could hit the tree and travel through the tree to hit you. Stay away from anything that is metal(金属). Try to get in your car and close all the windows, or go into a nearby building right away. If there's no building around, try to find a low place to stay in. Squat(蹬) down near the ground and put your hands over your ears. Never use a cellphone.

In the early 1900s, Carol Ryrie Brink lived with her grandmother Caddie on a tiny farm in Idaho. The farm was a great place to live. Besides wonderful tall trees, it had cats, chickens and a horse. Carol often rode the horse through the streets of town.

Even so, Carol was sometimes lonely. She would climb to the top of her favorite tree and make up stories to cheer herself up. Her favorite part of the day was when Grandmother Caddie would sit with her and tell stories about her and her brothers.

Carol loved the stories so much that when she grew up, she decided to write a book about them. Thousands of children throughout the world have read and loved her book Caddie Woodlawn.
