Question

A little girl walked to and from school every day. Though it was dark and cloudy that morning, the little girl made her daily trip to school as usual. But when school was over, the wind became stronger and it began to rain.

The little girl’s mother felt worried. She thought her daughter might be scared when she walked home from school. The lightning (閃電) might frighten her. After seeing a bright flash of lightning, the mother quickly got into her car and drove to her child’s school.

As the mother drove along the road, she saw her little girl walking alone in the rain. To her great surprise, she found that every time lightning struck (劃過), her daughter would stop, look up and smile. Another lightning came, and then another. With each flash of lightning, the little girl stopped, looked up and smiled.

Inside the car, the mother asked her daughter. “What were you doing? Why did you look up and smile when the lightning struck?” The little girl answered with a smile, “Mom, you know, someone was looking at me. Each time I felt a little afraid, someone would take a picture of me. I knew he was playing a game with me.”
