Jimmy and his parents finished loading their family camper.It was time to leave for their annual camping trip in western North Dakota.Jimmy loved riding in the family camper across the wide, open prairie.He could not wait to use the new sleeping bag he received for his birthday.Jimmy's dad drove while his mom took a nap in the front seat.
Jimmy stared out the window. He watched ranchers as they lassoed runaway cattle in the prairie grasses.He pictured himself on a galloping horse and began daydreaming about life on a ranch.Jimmy paid no attention to the dark clouds that were rolling in fast.
Then Jimmy heard a crash of thunder and he jumped.
He looked up front to see his mom wide awake.His dad was watching the road carefully through the rain.
Jimmy felt his body grow tense. He hated thunder and lightning.The loud noises always scared him. His mom looked back at him.She smiled, reached back, and patted his knee.
"Don't worry, it's just a little rain," Jimmy's dad said."We're safe as long as the river does not overflow its riverbed."
"That's right," said Jimmy's mom. "I need you to do two favors for me.Try not to be scared, honey, and help me keep an eye on the water.Let me know if it looks like it's getting higher."
"OK," said Jimmy, trying to be brave. He turned and looked back out the window.
Jimmy's mom flipped on the radio in the camper."We need to listen to the weather report," she said.
A voice on the radio was talking about the danger of flash floods.Jimmy's parents quickly glanced at each other. They looked worried.
Jimmy kept watching the river.The whipping wind shrieked outside the camper. Jimmy felt more and more nervous.
