A tornado is often a funnel cloud—a rotating column of air— that stretches from a storm to the ground. To be a tornado it must touch the ground. It can touch down for a few seconds or grind across the earth for miles. Tornadoes usually last less than 10 minutes. They often occur in the summer when warm moist air meets hot dry air. Tornadoes can be very violent and can do significant damage. They can have very high winds, up to 250 miles per hour.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy, his name was Ben. On his first birthday, his parents got him a soft cuddly brown teddy bear. The little baby boy carried his teddy bear with him every where he went. At night the teddy bear always got to sleep next to the baby boy in his crib. Every day, he would carry the teddy bear around with him everywhere he went. One morning, he woke up and the teddy bear was gone.

Joe had been fishing for over two hours without a single bite. Suddenly there was a nibble at the end of his fishing line.  He stood up on the boat and leaned out too far.  Just then there was a sharp yank on the line.  Joe fell overboard and landed head first into the water.
