first onto the front of the car and then onto the roof. Sitting on the roof, I found the water rushing past the car, was already half way up the doors and still rising. I put on the raincoat to protect my baby from the rain. Luckily, I found my mobile phone in my pocket. I dialed my mother, but I couldn't get through. Telephone poles must have been brought down by fallen trees. "What should I do?" Waiting on the roof anxiously, I looked around, hoping to find a boat to save us. Suddenly, I heard someone calling me. "Where are you?" I shouted. "Here. In the tree." I looked towards the trees. Mr White was in the tree. The water was rushing under him. "Catch the tree tightly." I shouted. "Don't worry! They will come to save us." We encouraged each other. Half an hour past, the rain stopped. The baby cried hungrily. Rosie and Monty lay silently. "Why don't they come to save us? What happened? They will find us soon." I had to force myself not to panic. Just then I heard my husband calling me. "We are here, on the roof." I waved happily. We were saved at last. I was relieved when we finally reached a safe place.
