Avalanche!

«Let’s race!» said Jack.

«Ok!» Sally said. And she started to ski down the mountain as quickly as she could. Sally and Jack were brother and sister. They were also good friends.

It was a cold clear day – perfect weather for skiing. Jack and Sally were excellent skiers. Every winter, their family visited the mountains in Canada for a skiing holiday. Sally felt happy. She went faster and faster down the mountain. Usually, Jack was a faster skier, but today, Sally was in front. But she knew that Jack was close behind her. Then Sally thought that she heard the low noise. It sounded far away at first. It was strange, it sounded like train, but Sally knew that there was no train in this valley. The sound grew louder. Sally looked back, and her heart almost stopped. An avalanche! A great wall of snow was coming down the mountains towards her. Big trees were breaking in front of the powerful avalanche. Sally pointed her skis straight down the mountain. She hoped to escape if they would go fast. «Let’s go, Jack!» She called out loudly to her brother. Sally skied as fast as she could. It was dangerously fast, but she could hear the avalanche behind her. She skied all the way to the bottom of the mountain. She was exhausted. Her legs felt weak, but she was safe.

«That was close, Jack!» she said, turning to speak to her brother. But where was Jack? (after Lewis Lansford and D’Arcy Adrian Vallance, Comprehension 2)
