The December day started like any other. Seven-year-old Joonas was doing his homework,while his two little brothers were running around the yard. That day seemed peaceful,but Alejo knew better.
Alejo felt shaking in his legs,and his ears perked up(竖着),listening for what had already 1. Alejo made a crying sound,and Mama said,“Sh!” Alejo barked,and Joonas complained,“Quiet! I'm trying to 2.”
Suddenly,a strange roaring(轰鸣)sound began. Papa ran to the roof(屋顶)to 3 what was happening. But Alejo knew better. The shaking of the ground travelled up his padded paws(肉掌).
“Why were they 4? Didn't they know that a great earthquake had roared under the ocean and would soon bring strong waves onto the land?” Alejo thought.
And then Papa shouted with 5 from the rooftop,“Tsunami(海啸)! Run!”
Mama cried,“Sons,come on!” She grabbed(抓)a little one under each arm. “Joonas,run! You're fast and strong. Follow me up the 6. Fast!”
But the roar had gotten louder,cutting off her words. All that Joonas had heard was,“Run!” And he ran back home where he thought he would be 7. Alejo barked and barked,but the tsunami made it 8 to hear his voice too.
Alejo gently bit(咬)Joonas's feet,but the boy wouldn't move. “Go,” Joonas pushed the dog away,but Alejo would not give up. He grabbed Joonas's shirt in his 9. He pulled and pulled until his mouth broke. With all his strength,he pulled Joonas back outside and hit him from behind. Finally,the boy 10.
They raced uphill as the huge wall of water ran after them. Alejo and Joonas didn't stop running until they reached higher up the hill and met their family.
