Complete answer:
Almas and her family were sleeping when the tremors began early in the morning. Almas' father noticed the seawater receding. He knew the water would slam back at him with great intensity. He roused everyone and attempted to hurry them to a safer place. Her grandfather was struck on the head by something and fell down as they fled.

He roused everyone and attempted to hurry them to a safer place. Her grandfather was struck on the head by something and fell down as they fled.

Her father ran over to assist him. But then a massive wave came and washed both of them away. Her mother and the ants were also swept away by the raging waters. Almas was rescued in some way. However, she became a survivor of trauma.

Note: Tsunami teaches students that a tsunami is a natural disaster that causes massive damage and enormous loss of life and property. Each tale taught us valuable life lessons as well as reassuring information about persistence, bravery, endurance, and survival. In the difficult struggle of endurance and regeneration, one should demonstrate acts of bravery, compassion, and duty.
