It had gotten very windy. The wind blew trees over and damaged houses. After the wind, there were heavy rains. Houses and streets were flooded.  \nThe class spoke about what it would be like in Mexico. They discussed how the houses, and all the things inside, would be ruined. Ava said, “People will need clothes.”  \n“They’ll need new blankets to keep warm ,” Melanie added.  \n“My sister has a ton of clothes. We should send those to Mexico,” said Brett, thinking of how upset his sister would be to come home to an empty closet.  \n“Brett, that’s brilliant!” said Ava.  \n“It is?” replied Brett, who didn’t think he had ever said anything brilliant.  \n“Yes, it is!” exclaimed Ava with excitement. “You , your sister, Melanie and I , and everyone else in the school , can bring in our extra clothes and blankets to send to Mexico. We all have lots of stuff, and now they need some of it.”  \n“Let’s do it!” Melanie said. “My mom has a whole closet full of blankets. We don’t need that many .”  \nThe classroom was buzzing with chatter as the students talked to Mr. Kent about how they could collect clothes and blankets. Some kids were going to make signs that said: “Blanket Drive.” Other kids were writing a newsletter. Everyone was going to ask their friends and relatives for old clothes and blankets. Brett was put in charge of stacking all the clothes and blankets in the gym.  \nEveryone was excited , except Brett. “Am I going to have to miss recess for this?” Brett said, groaning.“Maybe this isn’t such a brilliant idea.”  \nAll week long, students brought in clothes and blankets. News of the blanket drive spread, and people living allover the city brought in more clothes and blankets. Even Brett was impressed by how generous people were.  \nEveryone in town was talking about the Blanket Drive. The local television station sent a camera crew to the school. The reporter wanted to know whose idea this was.  \nThey found Brett in the gym. Behind him , thousands of blankets and pieces of clothing were stacked almost to the ceiling.  \nThe interviewer asked Brett, “This was a brilliant idea. You must be very proud of yourself for thinking of it.”  \nBrett looked at the mountain of clothes behind him and then looked back at the camera. “No, it wasn’ta brilliant idea,” Brett said thoughtfully. “We had a lot of stuff and those people in Mexico really needed some of it. We’re just trying to help. It’s simple.”  \nThe Blanket Drive (exercises)  \n1. Write short answers to the questions.  \na. In what country was there a hurricane?  \nb.
