Three friends go skiing and then there is an earthquake all of the sudden.

One beautiful day in Colorado, Liam, Clair, and Brian were having an awesome day at skiing. The
snow was perfect, since they got over 24 inches of snow overnight. There was fresh powder
everywhere.
It was the right temperature for skiing, too! First, Liam did a back flip on his skis! Brian was
struggling still, but Claire was doing fine.
This has been the best day ever, Liam, said excitingly. I did a back flip ON my skis!
Maybe for you, Brian said sadly. I cant even get up a hill.
Im doing just fine, said Clair happily. I dont like back flips and I can get up a hill just fine.
After a moment of skiing, they stopped for a minute or two to take a break and get a drink of
water out of their backpacks.
Wow, said Clair, did we just go down part of the mountain without stopping?
Yep, said Liam.
That was fun and exciting!
Hey guys, guess what, said Brian sounding very excited, I finally got up my first hill and I am
so proud of myself!
Congratulations, said Liam sounding very proud of his friend.
I think that Ive caught my breath, Claire said, lets go ahead and ski down the rest of the
mountain.
Yea, Brian and Liam said.
As they were skiing down the rest of the mountain, they were racing each other.
Yes, said Brian sounding as if he was had just won the Olympics, I won! I won! I won! Whoop!
Whoop!
Ha, ha, very funny, Brian, said Liam.
Lets go again!
As they were riding up the chairlift, they were hanging out like normal friends.
Hey guys, what you want to do when we get up there? said Claire.
I dont know, said Liam, I guess ski down the mountain.
When they finally got to the top, everything changed.
Guys, I have two plans, said Liam sounding like a leader as if he was. Plan A is to go and crawl
under a table or the bar wherever we can so if the ceiling does fall, we wont get crushed by it. Plan B is
to just to stand here and let the ceiling fall on us if it actually does.
I think that plan A sounds a lot better than plan B because I am too young to die right now,
said Brian.
They all agreed to do plan A and crawled under a table for protection. Once the earthquake was
over, they crawled out and each took a deep breath and thought about how scary it was to be in the
earthquake.
I never want to go through that again, exclaimed Claire.
Me either! said Brian.
The three friends left the restaurant and went back to having fun on the mountain.
