    Tommy loved to play. His room was a whirlwind of toys and clothes. His mom often called him 'Tommy the Tornado'.

    One day, Tommy's mom asked him to clean his room. Tommy was surprised. He thought his room was perfect.

    Tommy looked around his room. He could see dust bunnies under his bed. They seemed to be dancing.

    He also found socks everywhere. He picked up a pair and started making silly puppet shows with them.

    Tommy began to clean. He put all his toys in their boxes and found a place for everything.

    As he cleaned, he realized that tidying up wasn't boring at all. In fact, it was a fun adventure!

    His mom was happy too. She no longer had to nag him about cleaning his room. Tommy was a tidy tornado now.

    Weeks later, Tommy's friends came over. They were amazed at how clean his room was. Tommy was proud of himself.
