It was a cold, wet day on June 6, 2010, when 14-year-old Wasana arrived at school. Waiting outside his classroom for his classmates to 36 , Wasana stared at the 37 . Then his eyes fell upon the 18-metre-high hill that 38 at the back of the classroom.
He 39 large amounts of rainwater flowing down the hill, and water was also bubbling(冒泡) at the base of a rock on the hill. For a few minutes, Wasana 40 the water, wondering why it looked so 41 .

Chaos(混乱) broke out as the 46 ran to the open area that had been appointed as an emergency gathering point. When some teachers 47 Wasana, he showed them the water gushing from the hill, and they started leading the students to safer ground.

They were too 52 : ten minutes later, they heard screams as the huge rock rushed down the hill. There was little Gurusinghe and his group could do as they watched the earth 53 their classrooms. Thanks to Wasana’s 54 action and careful observation, 55 was hurt in the incident.
