A Terrible Rainstorm

A rainstorm wreaked havoc on Ilugun community one day. On that day, the Sun was hot. There was heat. People sat under the big trees for air. The green leaves had turned brown. The soil burned like an oven. Everybody in the community was looking forward to the first rain of the year.

Suddenly, there was a cloud in the sky and the people were expecting a refreshing time from the rain. The women brought out bowls of different sizes to collect rain water. The cloud gathered for some hours and the whole community was in darkness.

Later, there was a terrible wind that blew heavily across the community. In a little time, it became so violent that what started as a mere wind grew to become a storm blowing off the roofs of so many houses and pulling down parts of the wall. It blew off windows and doors of many other houses. There was fear among the people.

Then there was rain. It fell as it had never fallen before. For hours, it poured down heavily and washed away houses and farm produce. Trees were uprooted and there was erosion everywhere.

Then the rain became lighter, but it went on from day to day without a stop. After the rain, the people came out to see the terrible effects of the rainstorm on their community. The rainstorm had damaged their small but peaceful environment.
