As far as we can tell, there are only two people on record that claim to have been in the center of a tornado
and lived. 8.1. ______________________ The first man was Will Keller, from Greensburg, Kansas.
On June 22, 1928, Mr. Keller was with his family, checking out the damage to his wheat from a hail-
storm that had just passed. He spotted an umbrella-shaped cloud in the distance and had a feeling that
a tornado might develop. Before he knew it, there were three funnel clouds heading his way.
8.2. ______________________ He d seen many tornadoes over the years, so he wasn t afraid, but remained
cautious. Kellar said he was fascinated by the twister, and he stood still until it was directly overhead.
Once inside the swirling cloud, Keller said that everything was as still as death . When he looked up,
he saw the round opening directly overhead, about 50 to 100 feet in diameter and about a half a mile high.
The rotating cloud walls were made clearly visible by bursts of lightning that zigzagged from side to si-
de . He also noticed a lot of smaller tornadoes forming and breaking free, making a loud hissing noise.
The tornado then passed, skipping over his house and smashing the home of his neighbour.
8.3. ______________________ Hall was a soybean grower in McKinnet, Texas. One spring afternoon
in 1951, Hall and his family were outside when a storm approached. He sent his wife and kids inside
to hide but stayed to watch the storm. After baseball-sized hail started coming down, he went inside. He then
heard a loud rumbling followed by complete silence. The walls began to shake and his roof was ripped away
and thrown into the woods nearby. At this point, he looked up to find the tornado directly overhead.
8.4. ______________________ Once again, non-stop lightning created a bluish light, enabling him to see
everything clearly. And then, just like that, the tornado passed and the sky turned sunny. The same storm
killed 100 Texans, but Hall and his family survived.

THE CODE OF THE DESERT
Two men were crossing the desert when they saw a Bedouin s tent and asked him for shelter.
9.1. ______________________ he did not know them, he welcomed them in the way that the conduct of
nomads dictates: a camel was killed and its meat served in a sumptuous dinner.
The next day, the two strangers woke early and decided to continue on their journey. As the Bedouin was
not at home, they gave his wife a hundred dinars, apologizing for not being able to wait, because
