families were swept away by the

holding on to a wooden door and

being brought to the shore by a wave.

Similarly, Almas also climbed a

log of wood and fainted.

which Tilly’s parents could have

reacted to her behavior? What

would you have done if you were

in their place?

Ans- Tilly’s parents could have also

reacted in a different manner by

not paying heed to her frightened

behavior. If they would have tried

to calm her down, probably if they

would have got washed away

along with the tsunami waves.


5.If Tilly’s award was to be shared,

who do you think she should share

it with — her parents or her

geography teacher?

Ans- Tilly should have shared her

award with her geography teacher

who made her aware of what a

tsunami is and its various effects.

Due to this awareness, she was

able to save the lives of so many

people.


6.What are the two different ideas

about why so few animals were

killed in the tsunami? Which idea

do you find more believable?

Ans- fristly, Not many animals were

killed by the tsunami because most

of them have a sixth sense working

in them. Second  Some experts

also believe that animals have an

acute sense of hearing that helps

them to hear or feel the earth’s vibration.

They have the ability to sense an

approaching disaster long before

humans realise what’s going on

and they are able to move to safer

places. 

I believe plus its scientifically proven

  they can sense disturbances and

hear low frequency sounds which

is not within the capacity of humans.
