It was a dark and rainy night. The wind was
strong. It was raining hard.
Tony and Shonda were alone in the house.
Shonda went to the window. She looked out.
Something was flying by! It was round! It was
bright orangie!
"Look, Tony," she said.
Tony looked out.
"I think it's a flying saucer!" he said.
"I'm going to see," said Shonda.
She ran out into the rain. She saw something
round. It was orange.
"Look, Tony," she called. "I found the flying
saucer. It's just an old umbrella!"
"Then use it," Tony called back. "You are getting
all wet!"
