The incident

It was a normal saturday. At about 10 o'clock, John was cycling to a lake near the town. He was going fishing. There was a dam at one end of the lake. While he was crossing the dam, he saw a crack in the wall. Water was coming through the crack. It was going to flood the town. When John saw it, he turned round and cycled back to the town as fast as possible. When he reached the town, he shouted, "The dam's breaking!". While he reached the town, people were shopping and some children were playing. Whe people heard him, everyone grabbed their children, pets and things and ran indoors. As he was cycling past the post office, Mrs Roberts shouted,"Quick, come in here." He ran into the post office and Mrs Roberts shut the door. About a minute later the water went past. It picket up cars and it carried them down the street like toys. It was very scary. The water damaged a lot of cars and buildings, but everybody was safe thanks to John. But now he couldn't go fishing, because they haven't got a lake!
