The water drew away from the beach, and a loudhissing sound came from the sea.



Suddenly fish flopped 2 on the bare sand!



Annie threw down her board and ran. She grabbedJack's hand as she ran by him. Jack grabbed Boka'shand, and Boka grabbed Kama's hand. They all rantogether, pulling each other along as they raced to thecliff.



Boka and Kama ran up the cliff path. Jack andAnnie grabbed their shoes and Jack's pack.



At the top of the cliff, everyone looked back. Jackcouldn't believe his eyes!



A wave was rising up like a dark mountain ofwater. It came surging toward the shore, growingeven taller.



"Wow," whispered Annie.



"Get back!" shouted Boka.

When the water rolled back over the cliff, they allhurried back to the edge to see what had happened.



The rocky cliff path was gone. The gigantic wavewas moving back out to sea, taking rocks, sand,seaweed, seashells, and the surf-boards with it.



"Scary," breathed Annie.



"Yeah," said Jack. "We just made it.""Boka! Kama!" voices yelled.



They turned around. Jack saw Boka andKama's parents racing 3 across the meadow towardthem. Other villagers followed.
