A Place Near Water

Living in Sigma could be difficult sometimes because of the occasional flood, much more when you are near the river. When we were young, we were always excited when there is flood because all the classes will be suspended and we can play at the water all day long.

We would make bamboo rafts and we would ride with it and pretend that we ere in the ocean. We had so much fun playing in the flood unaware of its harm that may inflict us. As we grow older, we no longer felt excited when the flood is coming because we already knew that it means trouble.

Flood could be very devastating. It destroys houses, appliances and farmlands. It also brings sickness for people and animals. We had difficulty in transportations and in doing our daily activities.

I hope the government will find ways to prevent flood in Sigma.
