Substitute Creature
At school…
“Okay so your teacher is, Ms. um Hackney?” asked the substitute pony Robert. My name is Robert and I am your substitute teacher for the day. Everyone is currently flying paper airplanes, etc Let’s start with roll call. Melody?
“Here,” said Melody.
“Bon-Bon?” said Robert.
“Here,” said Bon-Bon.
“Starlight?” said Robert.
“Here,” said Starlight.
“Sweetheart?” said Robert.
“Here,” said Sweetheart. Minutes later…
“Alright, now that that’s out of the way, what is your teacher currently teaching?” asked Robert. No one says anything
“Well, we don’t really know since she teaches a new lesson every day,” said Bright Eyes. What she teaches one day isn’t really related to what she teaches the next.
“Ah, I see,” said Robert. Well I’m not sure what to do now.
“Wait a sec, didn’t Ms. Hackney always put her lessons on tape in case she couldn’t be in?” asked Ace.
“Yeah, you’re right, Ace,” said Melody.
“Where is the tape?” asked Robert. Starlight hops out of her seat and opens a drawer at the desk
“I think it might be in here,” said Starlight. Ah, here it is! She puts it on the table and presses “Play”.
“Today’s lesson is about floods,” said the tape. These happen when there is too much water and not enough places for it to go. These are often underestimated by motorists as their depth, or how deep they are, is often assumed as being less than it is and they often get trapped in their cars. Floods are dangerous because they can not only sweep ponies and cars off the ground but buildings too. It is also best that when you have a flood in your home that you avoid drinking eating or drinking anything in your refrigerator or freezer as these have been contaminated, or ruined, by the flood water. When a flood occurs, move to higher ground, or to higher floors of your house if you become trapped. Although you ponies are too young to drive, I think this would benefit you all for the future. If you become trapped in your car, get onto the roof as the car will quickly take on water and may eventually sink. If you can, try to get to a tree or some sort of land area but if the current, or speed of the water, is too fast, remain on the roof of your car until help arrives. Rain starts pouring down at a fast rate and Patch turns to the window
“Wow, it was sunny seconds ago,” said Patch.
“Patch, please turn around,” said the tape. Now, as I was saying, stay on the roof of your car or whatever vehicle you drive until someone rescues you. Leave the car behind when you are rescued as first of all, a helicopter cannot lift that amount of weight and it would take more time to lift it up, and second, it can be replaced but you have only one life so make it last. To clean up after your house is damaged by flood water, it’s best to call a professional, that is, someone who is very good at their job.
“Like a soccer player?” asked Ace.
“Exactly,” said the tape. The furniture in your home should be moved to avoid them becoming damaged and any damaged carpeting should be moved to a drier room, probably one with sunlight to shine through would be best. Any questions? The school clock chimes before any of the ponies can speak
“See you guys later,” said Robert. Thanks for helping me out. Everyone else rushes out of the school.
“Whoa, it’s raining pretty hard,” said Lancer.
“Yeah, we’d better get home quickly,” said Bon-Bon. The rain falls even harder as each pony gets inside his or her’s house
“You made it just in time, Melody,” said her mother. They’re forecasting a flood today.
“A flood?!” said Melody. We learned about them in school today.
“Well isn’t that the oddest thing,” said her mother. The rain stops The storm’s ending.
“Yes!” said Melody with joy. Meanwhile…
“The rain’s really truly stopping,” said Sweetheart.
“That’s very good news,” said her mother.
“Couldn’t have said it better, dear,” said her father. The clouds dissipate and the sun peaks out
“A wonderful way to brighten the day after a gloomy start,” said her mother. At Bon-Bon’s house…
“Hey look, it stopped raining,” said Bon-Bon.
“I wasn’t sure if it would ever stop,” said her father. Even so, it’s good to have you home, Bon-Bon.
