Once upon a time there was as a mother fault named Mariah who gave birth to millions of tiny black faults on an island far away. As time went by those tiny faults became the cause of many earthquakes.

3

The faults loved to cause earthquakes in towns in which they visited. They found pleasure in seeing the peoples towns destroyed while making people feel helpless against them. The faults felt powerful by thinking that the town’s people were defeated.

4

As the towns people began to look around to find something to help protect themselves from all the falling objects. They found a strong and sturdy table. They no longer felt helpless or defeated by the faults. The faults weren’t very happy at all about this. So they began forming more and more intense earthquakes.

5

This caused more buildings to fall and crumble. The town’s people were suffering from what the faults were doing. The only way for them to defeat the faults wrath is to rebuild……

6

The town’s people began to rebuild again and again to conquer victory. The Faults knew they were defeated but that did not stop the faults from trying to destroy the towns and will never stop the people from building.

7

As you can see the town’s peoples homes are more stable and ready for the next earthquake.

8

once the fault lines pushed together. Then made a little wave no one knew what to call it. So the wave thought of a name and named him self tsunami. He really liked that name and he was has happy as a camper.

9

Little tsunami wasn’t little any more. The shorter he got the stronger and bigger. But tsunami was getting board and lonely. He wanted to have some fun but he was wondering what he could do.

10

So he started to swirl in the water. The city started to wonder what’s going to happen the city thought. But tsunami knew what he was going to do but do you?

11

He was going to strike the city but not yet. He had to wait to get bigger. So he sat there and waited……

12

He was going to destroy the city in water. The city didn’t like that but there was nothing they could do. They felt so helpless. Because of tsunami. He was growing up and wanted to have some fun.

13

Then tsunami got so big he engulfed the city with water. The town’s folk didn’t even see it coming. Tsunami had so much fun he did it in different spots around the world. They had to warn other people about it to. They now know that there are tsunamis in more places than others.

14

The destruction of tsunami cost the city billions to rebuild they weren’t very happy. But tsunami was very happy of what he did. So now he goes around striking city by city. So watch out he could strike any moment.

15

Once there was a small volcano they called him cone because of his shape. He said he was going to be that shape but he was just growing. So they waited a year to see how big he would get.

16

They were very impressed how big he got in a year. The people were so proud that he got so big.they started to climb him. He said watch out for my trees their pointy. So they climbed then looked inside of and they couldn’t belive what the saw.

17

The people said he looked so beautiful their breathe was taken away. They said let’s have a picnic on him. He said okay he loved the idea. So they were having the picnic then a man came and said he was ugly.

18

The volcano said stop your making me mad. The man went on and on the it happened. The volcano just had anuff. You wont belive what happened next.

19

The volcano blow his top and the man went running. The volcano was tierd of people calling him small and ugly. He couldn’t take it he exploted and lava went every where. The people were as scared as ever. Whats happing.

20

It went on for hours and hours they wonder when he would stop. So they said please stop don’t get mad. Soon after a few more hours he stopped. He was okay again

21

From that day on he said he would never lose his cool again. So every ting went back to nomal and the man said sorry. The volcano was happy again.
