There was once a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best - 2 - picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there

were only two he 16 (real)liked, and he had to choose between them. One picture

was of a calm lake 17 a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around

it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought

18 was a perfect picture of peace.

19 other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above

was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side

of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful 20 all.

But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush 21

(grow)in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother

bird 22 (build) her nest. There,

in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest—in perfect

peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture.

“ 23 ,” explained the king, “peace does not mean to be in a place 24 there

is no noise, trouble, 25 hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those

things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.”

disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck

by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. That is, more people are killed

by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.

Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive

as much attention as other disasters.

"If you hear the thunder, you are in danger from lightning," said Rocky Lopes,

a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.

"Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should

move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The most important

thing to remember is to seek shelter, " Lopes said.

Summer is the peak time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across
