Cori prepared to go to bed.
She was ready for her good-night prayer.
She finished the prayer and mommy gave her a big huge.
She hugged her teddy bear and her favorite stuffed dolphin.
Cori closed her eyes.
Suddenly, a crash of thunder made her jump right out of bed.
Lightning flashed in the sky like cameras snapping a thousand pictures.
Cori was afraid.
She saw many shadows of the trees same as the monsters.
She cried: " Mommy, mommy! I'm scared.
" Mommy hugged her and said: "It's OK.
There's nothing to be scared of.
Storms like this show us how much power God has." Cori whispered: "Can I sleep in your room?" "Sure." Mommy answered.
Cori slept in the sleeping bag next to mommy's bed.
