(At Ela's house)
Mr. Kaya: The typhoon is coming. I can see the trees on the street swaying.
Mrs. Kaya: I can hear the wind blow. I need to move the roses on our balcony inside, or the strong wind might blow them away.
Mr. Kaya: This is our first typhoon. We must be ready for it.
Ela: Dad, we have to prepare some food.
Mr. Kaya: Right. Let's go shopping later.
Ela: We should get candles, too.
Mrs. Kaya: No worries. We have flashlights.
(It's 8 p.m. Suddenly, the lights go out.)
Omer: It's so dark.
Mr. Kaya: Is everyone OK?
Omer: No. I need to use the bathroom, but I don't want to go by myself! I'm scared.
Mr. Kaya: Here, take a flashlight with you. You really should train yourself to face your fear of the dark.
Omer: I'm trying my best!
Ela: Should we turn on the radio and listen to the latest news? If the typhoon gets stronger, we won't need to go to school tomorrow.
Omer: Great! A typhoon holiday!
Ela: Now you don't look that scared.
（在艾拉家）
凱牙先生：颱風要來了。我可以看到街上的樹在搖。
凱牙太太：我可以聽到風在吹。我需要將我們陽臺上的玫瑰花搬進來，否則強風會把它們吹走。
凱牙先生：這是我們第一個颱風經驗。我們一定要做好萬全準備。
艾拉：爸爸，我們得準備一些食物。
凱牙先生：對。我們待會去採買吧。
艾拉：我們也應該要買蠟燭。
凱牙太太：不用擔心。我們有手電筒。
（現在是晚上八點。突然間，燈熄滅了。）
奧梅爾：好暗哦。
凱牙先生：大家都還好嗎？
奧梅爾：不好。我需要用洗手間，但我不想自己去!我害怕。
凱牙先生：給你，你拿著這手電筒。你真的應該要訓練自己面對你對黑暗的恐懼。
奧梅爾：我已經盡力了!
艾拉：我們應該打開收音機，聽聽最新的新聞消息嗎？如果颱風變強了，我們明天就不用上學。
奧梅爾：好棒!颱風假!
艾拉：現在你看起來沒那麼害怕了。
