On a hot and wet summer day, Nura and her dad found a place to cool off at the city museum. Suddenly the lights went out, leaving the room completely 1 .
"Dad. what's going on?" Nura called out loudly.
"Don't worry. The lights might come back on soon. " Dad said 2 to comfort (安慰) Nura. In a moment, a worker waved the flashlight at them and said, "Excuse me, sir. There is a power cut (停电) across the city. We have to 3 the museum. I will walk you to the gate. "
Nura and her dad stopped at their favorite shop for ice cream. The shop owner refused when Nura's dad tried to 4 . "Forget about it," he said, "It will all be soup soon, anyway!"
After Nura and her dad arrived home, they found the neighbors 5 their apartments. Everyone shared ice water, talking and laughing about the hot weather.
"I can't 6 the heat in my room. " Mrs. Fong said, fanning herself with a newspaper.
A woman who lived downstairs was standing in the doorway. "If the power doesn't come on soon, I'll have to 7 all the food," she said.
"The meat in the 8 will go bad without power," said Nura's dad. "Let's take out the grill (烤架) to cook it. "
"I'll see what I have," the woman in the doorway said. "I'll make sure to bring enough for everyone. "
As they had their 9 , night fell over the city. The air was thick and hot, but Nura didn't mind anymore. She had enjoyed 10 ice cream, and she had shared a meal with her neighbors. She smiled to herself and continued to watch the stars.
