A couple of small girls were 'in the gardens on a recent Sunday when a phenomenal thunderstorm burst (says the Mataura Ensign). T*ey rushed to the nearest home for shelter. Later they were discovered perched on chairs which they had placed on top of a table. They were praying earnestly, and one supplication ended as follows: “And please, God. turn off the thunder and be a good boy.” Probably the novel resting place chosen was on account of the fact that t h ey would be nearer heaven if the worst happened and the thunder was not “turned off.”
