- Weeks Before the Dust Bowl 
- My farm is doing really good right now. Many locals and stores have been buying my crops and animals
- Day Before the Dust Bowl
- Looks like the weather is changing. You kids should go play inside the house
- That is total baloney dad! We want to play out here!
- And howl! We want to play out here!
- It will pass soon enough
- Later that day
- All of them eating the grass cant be harmful right?
- Beat it Fungus, get in the barn with the rest of the animals. You have all had your fill of grass for today 
- Bill's farm was flourishing; he was selling a lot of crops and farm animals and he was making good money to pay for his land. This was important because all of the crops kept the animals fed and the wheat was made into flour that was sold to local markets and shops.
- That night
- Wash up and sleep kids  
- Within days the sky was gloomy and the wind viciously picked up, it was starting to become too dangerous to even leave the house. Little did the people know, this wind would result in a 3 waved drought that would last 4 years and in some regions even up to 8 years.
- That morning
- Animals eating the grass shortened it letting dust blow freely through at a higher speed eroding the soil, the dry soil turned to dust and got swept up in the high winds making it hard for people to breathe and causing a lot of damage. There were other causes like over-grazing, planting too many crops and drought.
- The aftermath of the Dust Bowl
- .
- Ok Dad. Goodnight
- Within the time that it took for Pinot to get their father, Piggy had already suffered a lot of damage from the wind and dust. The dust gathered in peoples bodies and filled their lungs causing severe health issues and even death.
- Dad! Dad! Wake up, Piggy refuses to come back inside, you have to help!
- Everything was gone. Farmers were not able to pay for their land because of the lack of money coming in, people and animals were killed from the dust and wind, most crops died wheat mostly and properties and homes were damaged. With the Great Depression already going on, this sunk everyone especially farmers into a deeper debt.
- She is gone son. Everything  is gone.
