Grandma’s Volcano Story
Vika loved asking Grandma questions. Grandma always had great answers!

“Grandma, how did the volcano get there?” Vika asked.

Grandma smiled. “The Earth has big rocks under the ground. These rocks move, like boats on water. When two rocks crash together, hot liquid called magma comes up. This makes a volcano!”

Vika thought about boats bumping—Splash! She could see it in her mind.

“When a volcano erupts, hot lava comes out,” Grandma said. “Smoke, rocks, and ash fly in the air. That is why we must be careful.”

Vika looked at the volcano near her village. Sometimes she saw smoke.

“When the volcano erupts, the hot gas and lava push through a hole on top. This hole is called a crater,” Grandma explained.

Vika listened. Grandma was very good at explaining things!

“Did you see a volcano erupt, Grandma?” Vika asked.

“Yes,” Grandma said. “When I was little, the volcano near our village erupted.”

“What did you do?” Vika asked.

“We stayed inside and closed all the windows and doors. Then, our village leader told us to move to a safe place.”

Vika imagined Grandma walking to a safe village. She looked at the volcano. It was quiet today, but if it started smoking, she would listen to Grandma!
