　　　　Strange　things　were　happening　in　Ya'an　。　For　several　days　，　the　chickens　and　even　the　pigs　were　too　nevers　to　eat　in　the　farmyards　。　Mice　ran　out　of　the　fields　looking　for　places　to　hide　，　but　they　can　not　。　Fish　jumped　out　of　their　bowls　and　ponds　。　But　many　people　of　Ya'an　，　who　thought　little　of　this　events　，　were　do　their　things　as　usual　。
　　　　
　　　　It　was　on　April 20 , 2013　，　that　everything　began　to　shake　。　It　seemed　as　if　the　world　was　at　an　end　！　A　huge　crack　cut　across　houses　，　roads　and　canals　。　Then　the　houses　fell　down　and　the　electricity　was　cut　off　。　A　large　city　lay　in　rains　。　How　a　big　earthquake　it　is　！
　　　　
　　　　The　suffering　of　the　people　was　extreme　。　The　number　of　people　who　were　killed　reached　more　than　188　，　a　lot　of　people　who　were　injured　reached　more　than　11393　，　and　about　71　person　were　missing　。　But　how　could　the　survivors　believe　it　was　natural　？　Everywhere　they　looked　nearly　everything　was　destroyed　。　Bricks　covered　the　ground　like　red　autumn　leaves　。　No　wind　，　however　，　could　blow　them　away　。　The　big　earthquake　caused　great　damage　。　All　people　of　the　country　felt　sorrow　。
　　　　
　　　　 All　hope　was　not　lost　。　Soon　after　the　earthquake　，　many　people　of　the　country　raised　money　for　survivors　。　Fresh　water　and　food　was　taken　to　the　city　by　train　，　truch　and　plane　。　Workers　built　shelters　for　survivors　whose　homes　had　been　destroyed　。　Slowly　，　the　city　began　to　breathe　again　。
