There came a time when there was n meat. Fr many days the cubs did nt eat. They were t weak and tired t play. One-Eye, the cub’s father, was killed in the fight ver fd. Even the she-wlf left the cave t find meat, but there was nthing. One by ne, the cubs died. Only the she-wlf and the gray cub were left.

Safety Steps
At the first flash f lightning, quickly get inside a building r a car. D nt g int a shed fr prtectin. It is nt clsed like a building, s it is nt safe.
Even after yu are indrs, be careful. It is nt smart t g near drs and windws. They can blw in r break. A rm with n windws is the safest place t be. D nt wash yur hands during a strm. D nt use anything that runs n electricity, either. Water and electrical lines are like rads fr lightning. Even if yu really want t play cmputer games, dn’t!
