Donald had his own difficulties sleeping that night. Not just because of the bright lights of the shelter or people's constant voices, it was the happening repeatedly nightmare(噩梦) that caused him to stay awake, to fear sleep. Donald was back in his small house. He did his best to ignore the howling winds outside his window. Yet he couldn't turn out the fearful whimpers(呜咽声) of his little dog, or the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door, unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right.

Donald didn't want his mother to be upset, but on some level，he was glad to hear she was awake. It meant he wasn't alone in the dark. Though he was 12, until recently it was impossible for Donald to fall asleep unless his mother lay down by his side.

Suddenly there was a crash. Their living room window is shattered(打碎) by 125­mile­an­hour winds. Troy rushed to Donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed. He did his best to calm his mother, and she to comfort him.

It was a struggle for the boy and mother to stay afloat. In a total panic, desperate to hold on to something, Troy caught a curtain rod(杆). She's breathing hard, shouting that she couldn't swim.

Donald called out，“Mom! Hold on！” Just then Donald also caught a floating wood board.
