Pretty amused by this reading of “The Wild Robot Escapes” while almost asleep:
“Summer was tomato season. On occasion, thick clouds would start tunneling downward, reaching for the ground. So far, the tunnel clouds had all receded back into the sky without doing any damage. But it was only a matter of time before a tomato touched down.”
“The weather forecasts warned of possible tomatoes that day. But despite their scientific equipment, experts still couldn’t predict exactly when or where a tomato would strike…”
“The storm developed quickly. Dark clouds started swirling and bulging, lower and lower, like a giant, twisting finger pointing at the countryside. A tomato was beginning to form…” 🤔
I only realised, after waking up, that “tomato” should be “tornado”, and “tunnel” should be “funnel”… 😭
