| Jeremy sat in the company of his favorite stuffed animals. �Bobo the Dog was there, Whiskers the Cat, two cats named Tigger, and a monkey that wasn't yet named. �They were busy playing in Pretend Land, enjoying a ride on the merry-go-round. |
| Over on the couch laid Jeremy's favorite pillow. �Jeremy used to take the pillow with him wherever he went. �Now he only takes it in time of need. �Like right about now. |
| Outside, the wind was stirring. �The sky was full of dark clouds. �The branches on the trees were waving up and down, as if they too were riding on a merry-go-round. �Then flashes of light darted across the sky and a big rumbling noise filled the room. |
| "Mom!" Jeremy cried out as he quickly grabbed his pillow. |
| "Mom!" Jeremy cried again, as he ran off to his parent's bedroom. �But his mom wasn't there. |
| Jeremy gripped his pillow tighter and he started to cry. |
| Then he smelled the smell of fried chicken coming from the kitchen. �"Kitchen," he thought. �Jeremy ran to the kitchen. �"Mom," he cried with relief when he saw her at the stove. |
| Jeremy's mom bent down and scooped him up in her arms. �"There, there, sweetheart," she cooed. �It's all right. �We are having a thunderstorm." |
