The lighthouse

High on a hill above the the village stood a lighthouse. Its beams of light were a warning for ships to stay away. There were treacherous rocks below. The people that lived in the village were celebrating The lighthouse keeper was an old solitary man.  He heard an unusual clanking sound, he decided to go upstairs and find out what had made the funny noise.

As he wandered up the stairs the whole lighthouse plunged into darkness. He felt alone and afraid

afraid. He continued up the stairs. When he reached the top he investigated the huge lamp.

Then saw a boat coming towards the rocks,  he struggled to pick up the glass lamp.

He stumbled backwards because his toolbox was behind him on the ground.The lamp slipped from his hands and shattered into thousands of pieces.He said to himself “oh no the boat is coming.” He felt terrified. He came up with a solution! He ran downstairs and as he peered out his front door he saw the village people carrying their lamps. They all stood on the edge of the headland to warn the ship away from the rocks. They heard a loud blast from the boat horn as if it was saying “thank you.”
