Storytelling Foundations Worksheet
The signal in the fog
At the edge of Bracken Bay stood an old lighthouse, its paint peeling like dry leaves. Every evening, twelve-year-old Kit climbed the narrow steps to help their aunt check the lamp. Kit loved the sea, but hated the deep groan the lighthouse made whenever the wind rose. One November night, the lamp went dark. Beyond the windows, fog swallowed the harbour. Then three sharp flashes blinked from the water. “That’s not a boat’s signal,” Aunt Mara said, reaching for her coat. “Someone is asking for help.” Kit’s knees trembled. They remembered the small rowing boat tied below the lighthouse and the strong tide pulling towards the rocks. “We should alert the coastguard,” Kit said. “And keep the lamp dark until they know where the flashes came from.” Aunt Mara nodded. Kit raced down the stairs to call for help. A minute later, a fourth flash appeared—this time from the cliff path behind them. Kit turned. A soaked figure was climbing towards the lighthouse, holding a lantern in one hand. “I’m safe,” the stranger called. “But there’s a boat drifting out there!” The coastguard’s lights soon cut through the fog. Kit stayed beside Aunt Mara, listening as the wind rattled the windows. The lighthouse groaned again, but now Kit understood: even a frightening sound could be a warning worth hearing.
