In the beginning, Mrs. Kowalski lost her cat, Wilbur, and asked Li-Jun to help her find him for a $50 reward. Li-Jun sets off to work right away, searching all around the neighbord for the kitten - until his irritating friend, Jayla, becomes nosy and asks him all sorts of questions.

After Li-Jun began his search once again, a man went up to him and told him where the kitten was. After a team effort, Wilbur was saved and safley brought back to his house, where Li-Jun finally had to admit the prize money truth to his friends. Everyone agreed that the money wasn't the thing they were proud of - they were all proud that they reunited a kitten with his rightful owner.

  The power of a tsunami is equivalent to over 150,000 extremely power nuclear bombs. All natural disasters are extremely dangerous and harmful, however, volcanoes and tsunamis are dangerous on another level.

One reason tsunamis are more dangerous than volcanoes is because they create a huge amount of short term effects, or effects that happen right when a tsunami strikes.
