Abby’s father is sailing off to buy some medicine for her sick mother and some stuff for their family. He also had to buy some oil for the lamps in their lighthouse. Abbie was very worried because she knew that there was a storm coming and his father might not be able to get back home for two or more days.
So, his father went off but before he left, he instructed Abbie the things that she was supposed to do while he was away. The most important thing that he reminded Abbie was for her to keep the lamps burning since many sailors depend on them for their light while sailing.
The storm arrived and Abbie had a hard time in doing house errands since her mother was so sick and she is the oldest among her siblings. She had to lit the lamps but due to strong rain, the windows were misty. She had then to clean the windows for fear that the sailors in the sea might meet an accident if they can’t see the light from their light house.
Days passed but Abbie’s father didn’t arrive home. She was darned too exhausted and she got sick and tired of eggs being served in their dining table since there were no other food to choose from.
Then after a week, there was somebody knocking on their door. Abbie jumped when she saw it was her father. She told her father how much she worried for him. His father on the other hand replied that he was fine and he knew all along that his family was safe every time he saw the lamps burning in their lighthouse.
