　　Johnny lived with his mother and father in a small town in the mountains.

　　One day there was an earthquake（地震）near the town. Many houses were damaged（损环）. Everyone thought that there would soon be another earthquake.

　　They were worried that the second earthquake would be worse than the first.

　　“We must send Johnny to a safe place,”Johnny's mother said to her husband.“Many of our friends are sending their children to relatives in other towns.”

　　“We'll send him to my brother, Peter,”Johnny's father said.“He lives a long way away. Johnny will be safe with him.”
