| The incident took place on Sunday,the 25th Of June. On that particular day,a south wind had been gusting (劲吹) on and off all morning. It was not strong enough to cause us any concern,so we carried on our daily work not suspecting what was about to happen. The storm gave us very little warming. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon (地平线) so suddenly that we were taken by surprise. Even then,we were not really worried,as the clouds seemed to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains. Then,just as the clouds had moved inland,the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm. Instantly,we were busily preparing for the worst. The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops. There was very little we could do about the corps. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older brother called his sheep-dog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above river. If the river flooded,they should be safe there. In the meantime,my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of fine service. If the tin flew off,it could damage the house. My younger brother began hurriedly carrying firewood under the shelter. My job was to help Mum board up the windows.If the storm develop into a cyclone (旋风), the boards would protect the glass. The storm raged for four hours,pouring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years. As expected. the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock. " Then, just as we were beginning to lose hope,the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The animals were safe, and the roof was still nailed on.

He paused for just a second, walked into the water to 10 the table and take their 11 , and then walked back to the 12 cheers of the rest of his 13 . Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. Without pausing, he went 14 into the water to 15 the wine. The couple toasted (祝酒) each other, the waiter and the crowd. And the crowd 16 by cheering and throwing flowers to them. Three other tables 17 to have lunch in the water. The place was now filled with laughter.
