The Auroral Lights
By Phyllis Naegeli 		  
1     Erica lay back on the snow and stared up at the night sky. The northern lights were so beautiful tonight. This was one of her favorite events when she visited her grandparents in Fairbanks, Alaska. She loved to watch the ribbons of lights flicker across the sky. Her thoughts were interrupted when her grandmother called to her.
 
2     "Erica," called Grandma. "It's time for bed; you need to come in now."
 
3     "Okay, I'm coming," answered Erica as she got up off the cold ground.
 
4     Erica entered the small home where her grandparents lived and smelled the air. The aroma of her grandmother's freshly baked bread filled the air.
 
5     "Mmmm, that smells wonderful," said Erica as she kissed her grandmother on the cheek. "I'll go get ready for bed."
 
6     "We'll be in to say goodnight in a few minutes," said Grandma.
 
7     "Okay," Erica answered, heading down the hall to her bedroom.
 
8     Soon after, Grandma and Grandpa came to tuck her into bed.
 
9     "Grandpa, what causes the northern lights?" Erica asked.
 
10     "It's a rather complicated process, but let's see if I can give you the simple version," said Grandpa with a grin.
