On October 8th, when I cooked breakfast for my children, my house started shaking (摇动). It
was an earthquake (地震).
My children were with me. Ali, who was 5 years old, came to me and asked for breakfast. He ate
a slice of bread when the earthquake came. When we tried to run out, something struck (撞击) Ali.
Humna and I ran out of the house safely.
Soon Ali's father came and helped us, but we couldn't find Ali and my other daughter, Ayesha. We,
with other people, looked for them everywhere. Finally we found Ayesha's dead (死的) body from
her room. We found Ali six hours later. We could hear him cry at that time. The people said to him,
"We have a bike for you. Don't cry." He was very happy after hearing it because he wanted a bike
very much. He asked for his bike when he came out, but we had nothing for him except (除……之外)
the dead body of his sister Ayesha.
