I see lightning flash across the dark, cloudy sky like bright, zigzagging fireworks.
The light shines for a moment, lighting up the trees and the rain falling all around.
I watch carefully, feeling a little scared but also amazed by the powerful show.
The thunder rumbles loudly after, like a giant drum beating in the distance.
Mom holds my hand and tells me stories to help me feel safe and calm.
I know the lightning will fade, and soon the sky will clear and sparkle again.
Watching lightning makes me feel curious about the wonders of nature.
I hope to see the lightning flash again, but with Mom by my side.
