When 2 Vowels Go Walking

Today in reading the Brown Bar-ba-loots learnt what happens when 2 vowels are next to each other in a word. "When 2 vowels are together the first vowel does the talking and the second vowel is quite".

Here are 3 fantastic examples; 

Can you spot all the similes?  

There was a big noise at the top of the hill boom! Bang! I saw a spinning truck pass like a twister, piking up things down the hill breaking and snapping fences. After it landed like a bird in its nest. People were running down to help the driver in the truck. Hot chocolate came melting out like ice cream. By Twinkle 

The Chocolate van was driving carefully on the road then boom! It spun past me. It hit the tree right next to me and i nearly hit me. There was smoke it nearly set on fire the chocolate nearly melted. The truck lay on its back like it was dead. The driver got out safely. By Ryan 

The car was speeding like a cheetah down the hill then it flipped over me like a bird. Then it went boom like a rock. It crashed in snowy trees like a lightening strike that you would only dream about. By Mark
