Thailand was next. With waves traveling 500 mph across the Indian Ocean, the tsunami hit the coastal provinces of Phang Nga and Phuket an hour and a half later. Despite the time lapse, locals and tourists were caught completely unaware of the imminent destruction. Curious beachgoers even wandered out among the oddly receding waves, only to be chased down by a churning wall of water. The death toll in Thailand was nearly 5,400 including 2,000 foreign tourists.
An hour later, on the opposite side of the Indian Ocean, the waves struck the southeastern coast of India near the city of Chennai, pushing debris-choked water kilometers inland and killing more than 10,000 people, mostly women and children, since many of the men were out fishing. But some of the worst devastation was reserved for the island nation of Sri Lanka, where more than 30,000 people were swept away by the waves and hundreds of thousands left homeless.
It was afternoon and the streets were empty as I was going back home after school last Friday. Suddenly I heard some noise under the nearest tree. I came up to the tree and saw a small puppy! He was clean and so pretty that I couldn't help smiling. Of couse, I took this little miracle with me. It was a present for my small sister.
Это было днем, и улицы были пусты, как я возвращалась домой после школы в пятницу. Вдруг я услышала какой-то шум под ближайшим деревом. Я подошла к дереву и увидела маленького щенка! Он был чистый и такли хорошенький, что я не могла удержаться от улыбки. Конечно, я взяла это маленькое чудо со мной. Это был подарок для моей маленькой сестры.
