Five years ago, I was at school when I got a call from Mum. She said that our house was completely destroyed in a terrible tornado（龙卷风）. I felt 1 after hearing the news and then rushed back home. 2 , neither of my parents got hurt. But Mum couldn't stop crying since we had 3 left. Seeing the tears on her face, I walked up and tried to 4 her. After a short of fear, we calmed down and started to think about what could be done next.
Some 5 from the local government came to help in time. They offered us some food and money which we needed most. We 6 the following few days in a community centre but still didn't know what was waiting for us.
One of my best friends, Elsa, hurried there with a large sized 7 in her hand. In it, there was some fruit, biscuits, two coats and so on. I found neither of the coats was 8 for me. But I really didn't mind because her care was far more than that. It was more touching that I 9 got some books to read from her bag.
As days went by, we 10 to my uncle's old flat which stayed empty for a couple of years. It was much 11 , but after all it was a place called home. 12 we moved in, life was better. However, our relatives, friends and some strangers continued to help us.
Thanks to 13 help, we finally lived through the pain. And for the first time I realized that 14 was enough when I had nothing else left in my life.
Looking back now, the 15 time turns out to be an unforgettable experience. No one can tell when the disaster will come and what it may cause, but if we have some space for others in our heart and are ready to help, we can get over any "tornado" in our life.
