Kara was playing downstairs with her younger brother when the lights suddenly went out. Her brother got scared and started crying. Kara was a little afraid of the dark too, but she tried her best not to show it so her brother won’t worry even more. She remembered that the emergency light was plugged in their parent’s room upstairs. “We have to go to mom and dad’s room to get the light. Hold my hands and don’t be scared. I will protect you,” she told her brother.
