He tried their number, and Rocky’s father answered. The news was not good. “I’ll be right round to help,” Dad said, clicking off the phone.

He turned to the family and said, “Bad news. The towpath by the river and the lower part of their garden are flooded. If the river rises much higher, it will get into the house. I’ll go there now to help.”

Mum said to Dad, “You’ll have to take the children. I’ve got to go to work.”

The children had never put on their raincoats and wellingtons so quickly.

Tara gave Ash-ting a quick cuddle. “Be careful, Tara,” he warned. Afterwards, she wondered if he knew what was going to happen.

Lots of neighbours had turned out to help. They all remembered how Rocky’s Dad had helped the village school build its swimming pool. The men filled bags with sand from Mr. Jones’ builder’s yard and drove them back on his truck to stack them along the back of the house.

The women and children carried everything they possibly could upstairs in case the water came in. Tara, Mel, and Jack ran up and

downstairs, helping willingly.

When everything movable was upstairs, Mrs Bright, Tara’s teacher, drove with Tara to the local restaurant and bought piles of fish and chips to feed everyone. Tara was glad to be on her own with Mrs. Bright. Ash-ting had told Tara to talk to Mrs. Bright about all the things humans were doing to the oceans and to ask her to start a petition. “Children can really help make a difference,” he had told her.

So now she took the opportunity of telling Mrs. Bright all about the bad things happening to the seas. The teacher heard the passion in Tara’s voice and said she would think about the best things to do.

Back at Rocky’s house, all the helpers ate fish and chips sitting on the bare floor in the sitting room.

“Just chips for me, please,” said Tara.
