Read the story. Then circle the best title
Strange Lights /An Unusual Server/ The Dangers of Fog

A few years ago, while I was driving across eastern Canada, something very unusual happened. I still don’t understand what happened.

While I was driving at night through thick, heavy fog, I noticed flashes of light in the sky. They were moving from the sky onto the road in front of my truck. I was driving slowly, and I couldn’t see very well, but those lights were as bright as daylight, and they were blue. It was definitely not lightning.

Now here’s where the story gets weird. I was getting tired of driving in the fog, so I pulled off the road and stopped at an all-night restaurant for travelers.

I walked in and sat down at the counter. When the server came to my table, she laughed and asked me how I got such a bad sunburn. I didn’t know what she meant, but my face was bright red! I splashed cold water on it and held a towel to my skin. My hands were also burned. I  was very puzzled and a little frightened.

I went back to my table and ordered something to eat. I was feeling weak and extremely tired, and I wasn’t hungry anymore. After I forced myself to eat a few bites of food, I checked into a nearby motel, where I slept for about 24 hours. After that, I didn’t see any more light flashes, and the “sunburn” on my face and hands disappeared after a few days. Even now, I wonder about those flashes of light – I’ll never forget them!
