Kevin dreamt about a great flood.
Last night

It was nine o’clock in the morning. My bedroom floor was a pool of water. I looked out of the window. Water was everywhere. It covered roads, parks and small houses. Large objects, such as coaches and boats, passed by my window. They were floating in the water.
I could not just stand there! I had to do something!
I tried to call my dad, but the line was dead. My computer was still working, so I sent him an email. I wrote, “Dad, there’s a flood! What should we do ”He sent me an email back which said, “Kevin, my boss has given me some work. It’s important to stick with it. I can’t afford to sit around and worry about the flood.”
Then I emailed my best friend. “What should we do about the flood ” I asked. My friend replied, “I have no time to think about the flood. I’m playing computer games …”
I shouted, “The WATER! Look at the WATER!” But my cries fell on deaf ears. In offices and homes, people just sat and stared at their computer screens. It seemed that they did not want to puters were more important than the flood.
Very soon, the water came into people’s rooms. It poured onto their desks and covered their computers. In surprise, people finally started to notice the flood, but it was too late.
