The Heat is On
Inside everyone’s homes…
“Yes we’re looking at a major heat wave starting tomorrow,” said Dan. Temperatures will soar into the mid to upper 90s. So make sure you do not spend large amounts of time outside, folks, this is going to be a hot spell. If you have any pets, keep them indoors. If you must go outside, never leave younger ones or pets in your car for long periods of time as believe it or not, the temperature can be warmer inside the car than outside it.
“That’s not good, we need the rain,” said Melody’s mother.
“This is really truly awful,” said Sweetheart.
“Guess that means the ice cream truck will be working overtime,” said Lancer.
“Uh oh, I wonder if the bus can drive you to school tomorrow,” said Melody’s mother. The next day…
“Wow, it’s really warm in here,” said Melody. Mom, what’s the temp in here?
“77 degrees,” said Melody’s mother.
“If it’s that warm in here then it’s probably warmer outside,” said Melody. At school…
“Before I begin today’s lesson, I would like to apologize for the immense warmth in here,” said Hackney. I have the air conditioning on as high as possible to keep you all at least somewhat cooler. Today’s lesson is on droughts. A drought is an extended period of time with no rain. There isn’t really a cause for them, they just happen because no rain has fallen. The air conditioning shuts off
“Uh oh,” said Lancer.
“What do we do now?” asked Bon-Bon.
“I don’t know,” said Starlight.
“Perhaps we could close the blinds to allow some shade,” said Bright Eyes.
“Yes, that’s worth a try, good thinking Bright Eyes,” said Hackney. She closes the blinds at each window So is everyone better now? Everyone collapses in their desks Oh my, this heat is getting to everyone. What am I going to do? I can’t teach with the weather this bad. Sirens start up and several ponies lift their heads
“What’s that noise, Mrs. Hackney?” asked Patch.
“Sounds like a fire truck,” said Hackney. Strange, I don’t see any fires here.
“Mrs. Hackney, I see smoke,” said Bright Eyes.
“How can that be when there hasn’t been any lightning?” asked Lancer.
“All it takes is a dry day like today to make fires, Lancer,” said Hackney.
“What do we do?” asked Sweetheart.
“Until I see the flames, nothing,” said Hackney.
“What if there really are flames?” asked Bright Eyes.
“Then I will notify the fire department” said Hackney. Several fire trucks arrive.
“Guess there really is a fire,” said Teddy.
“We’ll have this fire out in a jiff, m’am,” said one of the fireponies. However, you all must exit in case the fire spreads to this building.
“Yes of course,” said Hackney. Students, we have to go now, the fireponies want us out to avoid us being trapped inside. Everyone inside moves outside as the fire spreads to the building.
“Oh no, what if the fire really truly does burn down the school?” asked Sweetheart.
“Let’s think positive for the situation, Sweetheart,” said Hackney. I’m sure these men will do whatever it takes to not let that happen. The fire continues burning and reaches the school building
“Oh no, we can’t let our school burn down!” said Bon-Bon.
“Now Patch, as much as we love our school, it can be fixed but you only get one life so let’s just let the fireponies do their job,” said Hackney.
“I guess you’re right,” said Bon-Bon disappointed.
“We’ve got the fire under control, m’am,” said a firepony. It should be out in a minute or two.
“You ponies are all too kind,” said Hackney.
“We’re just doing our job, m’am,” said a firepony. The fire is put out
“Finally, the fire’s out,” said Bon-Bon.
“Wait a minute, the school’s intact,” said Lancer.
“That’s a good thing, Lancer,” said Hackney.
“I know but how did it not get burned?” asked Lancer.
“I’d like to share with you ponies a little secret,” said Hackney. The school is made of fire-resistant materials, meaning that a fire cannot destroy it. Tomorrow, we resume with our lesson but for today, have fun! The ponies cheer
