         A Nut Graft has several purposes. One purpose is that its a paragraph or sentence that summarizes the importance of the story. It also provides a transition from the lead to the rest of the story. Another purpose is that it often tells the reader why the story is timely.          The Nut Graft can be longer than one sentence but in a news story it should not be longer than 2 or 3 paragraphs. If it is longer than that, the story could not be as good. It is very important to use good transitional words, so that its flows more smoothly.
