Safe From Bombs
 It was past midnight and the air
raid sirens began to wail all over the city. This warning meant that there was
going to be an air raid from the enemies. A little boy
was woken by the siren. He ran quickly downstairs to his parents. Together they
ran out into the garden towards a door half-buried in the earth. They hurried in
and closed the door behind them and soon they could hear the drone of aeroplanes
overhead as they hid in the air raid shelter. They could feel the earth shake as
bombs began to fall. In the shelter, the little boy was
tucked into bed by his mother. Next to his bed was a little night-light, just in
case he was afraid. He didn't like being in the shelter, even though it was a
safe place to be. It was both hot and stuffy with water leaking from the walls
and ceiling. Sometimes he had to stay there for hours.
Many families built shelters in their gardens. Those who didn't had to run to
public shelters. Many spent the night in underground railway stations just to be
safe from the bombs. During the Second War World, which
began in 1939, there were thousands of air raids. Towns all over Europe were
destroyed by bombs and hundreds of thousand of innocent men, women and children
were killed. This was the first time that war had put everyone in danger because
in the past, it was mainly the soldiers on the battlefield who were likely to be
killed. |
