Jason's father immediately realized that a tornado(龙卷风) was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time, the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place. Jason couldn't see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn't getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air.
As he made his way toward the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch(灌溉渠). In a panic, he scrambled(爬) to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before.

It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug.

On his way back, he noticed dancing birds and beautiful flowers. He met happy farmers in the fields. He found everything nice!
He got home, and his father asked,“How was your journey to the place Did you enjoy it?”“Of course not! I was worried that someone else would find the treasure before I did. But I really enjoyed the journey back home and forgot the pain of not finding the treasure.” The son continued to tell his father what he noticed on his way back.
“Nice things are always there,” the father smiled. “My son, I want you to have a goal. If you don't have a goal, you won't set out.

Ⅵ.The story of Wang Erxiao
A long time ago, there was a young hero, who was Wang Erxiao. Please follow me to recall his story.
Wang Erxiao was born in 1929. When he was eleven years old, his parents passed away. Then he became a member of the Children's League. Wang was clever and brave. On the morning of October 25, 1942, he was killed by enemies for protecting villagers. He was just thirteen years old.
We live in times of peace and maybe we don't need to sacrifice ourselves. But we should remember the heroes who once fought for our country. At the same time, we should study hard to build a better society.
