Lights Out!

One night, a big storm came. Wind blew, and rain hit the windows. Then all the lights went out!

Leilani got a flashlight. Dad lit a candle. "Let's play a word game," said Dad. "I say a group, and you name things in it."

"Weather!" said Dad. Leilani said, "Rain, snow, fog!"

"Music makers!" said Dad. Leilani tapped a pot like a drum. "Drum, flute, piano!" she said.

Soon the lamp came back on. "Aw," said Leilani. "Can we keep playing?"
