There was no tornados and then when mother nature saw all her grass and trees being cut down by the people who lived in log cabins—who would for their fires, she got mad. She said “don’t cut down any more trees or else I will have a tornado to kill you” The Cabin people did not believe her they “You are kidding” she said “try me” then they cut more trees and she got more angry and angry. She put the hot air on top and the cold air on the bottom and then she started to spin and spin with her arms and they did not believe she was mother nature, but then they started to, but she started to throw the tornado at them and they died because the tornado was so strong they couldn’t handle it that they passed out and mother nature killed them. When Mother Nature gives a warning don’t try her or you will die.

Once upon a time there was a homemade villain, and he wanted to be a villain really bad. He climbed a tree and fell off. Then he remembered his plot to be evil, and he went to a store to try and rob it. His name was Syndrone. When he went to the store an old lady whacked him with her purse, and he fell to the floor. All of the evil thoughts came out of his head, and he became good. His brother WalkaKnocka became an evil boy because of the evil thoughts walked into his head. They meet in a subway. WalkaKnocka takes the train and throws it. Syndrome says “Syndrome will save the day!” and he hits the train down. That same old lady, Old Lady Greenwood, came into the subway and whacked them both with her purse. The evil brother turned into a tree. The good brother became the boogieman. The old lady found a fountain of youth and became a young lady. She looked up at the tree and said “why does this tree look so familiar?” The end.
