In the olden days the thunder and lightning lived on the earth amongst all the other people, but the king made them live at the

far end of the town, as far as possible from other people's houses.
The thunder was an old mother sheep, and the lightning was her son, a ram. Whenever the ram got angry he used to go about and burn houses and knock down trees; he even did damage on the farms, and sometimes killed people. Whenever the lightning did these things, his mother used to call out to him in a very loud voice to stop and not to do any more damage; but the lightning did not care in the least for what his mother said, and when he was in a bad temper used to do a very large amount of damage. At last the people could not stand it any longer, and complained to the king.

So the king made a special order that the sheep (Thunder) and her son, the ram (Lightning), should leave the town and live in the far bush. This did not do much good, as when the ram got angry he still burnt the forest, and the flames sometimes spread to the farms and consumed them.

So the people complained again, and the king banished both the lightning and the thunder from the earth and made them live in the sky, where they could not cause so much destruction. Ever since, when the lightning is angry, he commits damage as before, but you can hear his mother, the thunder, rebuking him and telling him to stop. Sometimes, however, when the mother has gone away some distance from her naughty son, you can still see that he is angry and is doing damage, but his mother's voice cannot be heard.

Answer:

In my opinion, it could be D.

C is wrong just by using common sense, B and A doesn't make much sense either. But D seems reasonable.

PLEASE HELP. VERY URGENT<br> QUESTION IS BELOW
ruslelena [56]
1) We stood there waiting, which felt like eternity. We could hardly see anything because of how dramatic the fog was but it ended up clearing. We were on a ticking time bomb and had no time to hide. There we saw a mysterious creature. We were absolutely terrified of the Hound. It was enormous, it looked like it had eaten 2 ponies. It’s revolting face was giving off this vibrant green glow as the darkness appeared. We were absolutely frightened by this beast. We couldn’t even set fire at it because we were so startled. The revolting creature raced after Sir Henry, leaving him as startled as can be.

2) The enormous creature of the darkness started heading closer to the tracks. We could finally see clearly, no more fog. I looked up I could see the stars and the sky full of the moonlight.Holmes and I finally decided to fire at this creature fiercely with no hesitation. When we fired, a sound which seemed from hell had raised upon us-a howl from hell. The creature because fierce and raced onward, leaving nothing but dirt behind. We saw a glance from Sir Henry but it was too late. The ruthful Hound had knocked him out cold on the floor. I slit his throw open leaving nothing but blood and trails of its own left behind.

Hope this helped!! *Mark Brainliest plz!!*
