S1: Here is a story about tsunami.

T: Ok. Please tell us the story.

S1: I will read it. The story is about how an American survived a tsunami. On April 1, 1946, when Mieko "Miki" Browne was 18 years old, a tsunami struck her home in Hilo, Hawaii. Here's her amazing story.

　　That morning I got dressed as usual. I was just leaving for school when I noticed that my shoes were filthy. I went back inside to polish them. Staying home those five extra minutes probably saved my life.

When I came outside again, my mother was on the lawn picking flowers. Somebody yelled "tsunami!" We thought it was an April Fools' joke. Then I looked up and saw a huge wall of dirty water. Palm trees 35 feet tall were covered by water.
