Growing up as a teen, I fought with my parents all the time. Back then, I wished
my parents weren't from working class and we had more money to spend. One day, I
decided to run away after an argument with my mom. I vowed to never come back to
prove that I could live without them. I had about a couple hundred in my pocket at
that time. Funny how a couple of hundred note make you feel rich as a kid.
I told my parents I went to a friend's house. By the third day, my parents were
worried and lodge a police report. By the fourth day, I was home sick and my money
was running short. I remembered a group of boys bullying me in front of a
supermarket without anyone offering to help.
When I get back home, I realized how comfortable my life is despite not being
rich. My mom had spent her days worrying about me. For the first time I noticed she
has ageing lines around her eyes. I realized that she spent her youth working to feed
us when she could have fulfilled her dreams. My dad started growing grey hair. His
face looked beaten having to care for 3 kids.
I cried not because I was homesick, I cried because I realized I was a thankless
child. Being alone out there at such young age make me realize there's so much
more to life.

Lately I've been noticing
I say the same things he used to say
And I even find myself acting the very same way
I tap my fingers on the table
To the rhythm in my soul

When I'm ready to go
When I look in the mirror
He's right there in my eyes
Starin' back at me and I realize

And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family

How To Use Microwave

1. Every brand and model has its own functionalities. Thus, it all starts with reading the
manual. Read the user‟s manual to know more about your microwave. It enlists the pre-
set programs, power usage, cleaning procedures, and various other useful things.
2. The next step is to plug in your microwave. Do not plug in several devices at once.
Having read the user manual, you‟d know what duration to set for what purpose. Set in
the timer by either pressing the number buttons or turning the knob as per your
microwave.
Ensure there is nothing kept on top of the microwave, especially, a hot substance.
3. Put the food in a microwave-safe utensil only. The best thing to do is to use the utensils
that came along with the microwave if any. Ensure that the utensil is microwave-safe
otherwise it will cause damage to the microwave and food.
4. Use a thick, domed lid made of durable plastic that is designed for use in the microwave
to cover the food. This will restrict food splattering. You can purchase plastic microwave
safe covers online.
5. Let the food heat. It is advisable not to open the microwave until the program has run its
due course. However, use the start/stop button or pause button if you have to stop the
program in between. Ensure that the food is placed in the centre of the glass ring. The
centre of the ring heats up quickly.
6. Only heat the food that can be heated in the microwave. Salads and continental
appetizers should be avoided. Do not heat food older than four days as it would now be
home to bacteria and heating it will transmit them to the microwave resulting in
contamination of fresh food.
7. Regularly clean your microwave. Do not use gel or water spray inside the microwave.
Use a wet towel to clean the stains and wipe off the food remains. Use a dry cloth to
wipe off all the remaining dust.

The Fox & the Stork

The Fox one day thought of a plan to amuse himself at the expense of the Stork, at whose
odd appearance he was always laughing.

"You must come and dine with me today," he said to the Stork, smiling to himself at the trick
he was going to play. The Stork gladly accepted the invitation and arrived in good time and
with a very good appetite.

For dinner the Fox served soup. But it was set out in a very shallow dish, and all the Stork
could do was to wet the very tip of his bill. Not a drop of soup could he get. But the Fox
lapped it up easily, and, to increase the disappointment of the Stork, made a great show of
enjoyment.

The hungry Stork was much displeased at the trick, but he was a calm, even-tempered
fellow and saw no good in flying into a rage. Instead, not long afterward, he invited the Fox
to dine with him in turn. The Fox arrived promptly at the time that had been set, and the
Stork served a fish dinner that had a very appetizing smell. But it was served in a tall jar with
a very narrow neck. The Stork could easily get at the food with his long bill, but all the Fox
could do was to lick the outside of the jar, and sniff at the delicious odor.

What is a tornado?
Tornadoes are known as one of the most damaging disasters. What is the description of
tornadoes? A tornado is a very powerful column of winds which spirals around a center of
low atmospheric pressure. A tornado will look like a large black funnel which hangs down
from a storm cloud.
The name “tornado” derives from the Latin “tonare”. It means “to thunder.” While the
Spanish developed the word into “tornear” which means “to turn or twist”. This is why a
tornado is sometimes called twister or cyclone.
The winds inside a twister can spin around at speeds up to 500 miles an hour, but it usually
travels at roughly 300 miles an hour. This speed twisting makes a tornado the most
dangerous storm. The average tornado has a diameter of about 200 to 300 yards. The
smaller tornadoes are known as satellite tornadoes. These small offspring, about 50 yards
across, can be very fierce and do lots of damage.
The forming of a tornado can be very quick. Sometimes it can form in a minute or less. A
tornado can travel across the ground at high speeds, then it can suddenly vanish. Most
tornadoes last less than twenty minutes and travel less than 15 miles. However, the super
storms sometimes travel over 100 miles before they are exhausted.
