Tell the story, not in terms of science. Explain the story of was is going on with the volcanoe, if you knew nothing about volcanoes. Kind of like the story of the Sleeping Lady.
I hear this rumbling...the sky gets darker later that day. I'm wondering all to myself, what is going on? Everyone is in a frantic, running around, yelling, running away. Maybe the place we stand in is falling. Mother nature made a deal with us, saying, if we keep her clean, i'll give you a place to stay, food to eat, and warmth. No one was apparently listening, and no one obviously hasn't listened to her. It sounds as though she's angry, yelling, shouting out "How could you?!" You could feel her anger, her heat raging, pouring out bright colors.
I start leaving our hometown. We all reach the other mountains, opposite of the rumbling. We get towards the top, just in time. Our village in flames, a sea of bright red has swallowed it. You could see mother natures tears pouring out of that tall beautiful mountain.
We gathered and talked about it. What was happening? In the back, someone said quietly, "she's angry." Never again we doubted mother nature. We moved to a place that was later called Anchorage, and named nature's angry mountain, Mt. Redoubt.
