It was a very stormy night. Peg and Kid were not able to sleep in their room. They were scared of the thunder and lightning. So, they went running to their parents. Peg said, “We are scared of the thunder and lightning.” Suddenly, the lights also went out. Dad went to fetch some oil lamps. Even the lighthouse had been struck by lightning, so it was not working anymore. Dad said, “A boat was trying to come into the harbour. But it won’t be able to see its way without the light from the lighthouse. We will all have to take some searchlights and guide it safely in.” So, all of them went to the harbour. They saw the boat and shone the searchlight. The boat, it seemed, had seen the light. It changed direction and reached the harbour safely. The captain thanked the family for their help.
