可怕的地震

地震前，水井和運河里的污水都漲涌起來。但是沒人判斷出地震即將來臨。突然，一切都在搖晃，似乎整個世界就要結(jié)束。數(shù)以百萬的磚房和許多水壩遭到破壞;鐵路軌道都變成無用的鐵條;煤礦管道紛紛爆裂，發(fā)出有臭味的蒸汽;到處都有騎車的人陷在巨大的裂縫里。

第二天，所有報紙都紛紛以大字標題或主要標題報道了這一事件。記者們描述了災難的大概情況，全國都被地震的破壞和災民們極度的苦難所震驚。當人們讀到幸存者以“恭喜啊，你還活著！”來互相安慰時，都被感動了。人們不僅衷心地表達了他們的同情，而且還立刻組織起來幫助災民。傷員被救助了，死者被埋葬了，嚇壞的幸存者被從廢墟中挖出來了，棲身處、凈水和電力也很快得到供應。多虧了人們的幫助，災區(qū)的損失被減到了最小。
