ELPHI

As you know, since my new school was inaugurated, it has not stopped raining! So much heavy rain that a flood id isolating the school from the nearby towns and jungles.

BINDU

Miss Elphi, the river is rising too much!

MAKI

(CRYING) We won’t be able to go home!

ELPHI

Children, be calmed! Nothing is going to happen!!

MAKI

But i t rains too much!

ELPHI

The school is well built! And we are far away from the river.

BINDU

Is this a flood, Miss Elphi?

ELPHI

It certainly looks like a flood, Bindu. Do you remember what we said about floods in our previous classes?

BINDU

Yes… It’s when the water of the river goes out of its normal… bed…

MONKITO

Like the water in the container!

ELPHI

Right! And what are we supposed to do in case of a flood?

MAKI

Go home!! Buuuuuaa! I want to go home!!!

BINDU

We should go to higher places.

MONKITO

Have an emergency plan.

BINDU

Listen to the news!

ELPHI

That's right, children! And always keep calm. So, the first thing we are going to do is listen to the radio news.
