Lesson 4 Fun in the Rain

Fun in the Rain

Down, down came the rain.

Patty and Joe were in the house.

They wanted to play in the rain.

"Please, Mother," they said.

We want to go out in the rain.

May we go to see Peter?

Mother said, "Yes, you may go.

So they put on their rain coats and rain hats and rain shoes.

Then they went out in the rain.

Splash, splash went Joe and Patty down the street.

"Look, Patty," said Joe.

"I am a duck. Quack, quack!

Patty laughed and said, "Yes, yes, we are ducks. Quack, quack!

So they went along the street with a quack, quack, quack and a splash, splash, splash.

Peter saw them coming and opened the front door.

"Hello, Joe and Patty, “he said.

Are you wet?

"No, "said Joe. "We are not wet.

We have rain coats and rain hats and rain shoes.

It was fun to be out in the rain.

Peter said, "Come in, come in.

You are just in time.

Mother and I are making cookies. You may help us.

They made funny brown cookies.

Some looked like pigs.

Some looked like rabbits.

Some looked like chickens.

Then every one ate cookies.

How good the cookies were!

This is a fine party, said Patty.

"I am glad we came.

Soon Joe said, "Now we must go.

Thank you for a good time, Peter.

We have had fun at your house.

Now we will have fun in the rain.

Patty and Joe said good-by.

They put on their rain coats and rain hats and rain shoes.

Then they opened the door.

And, oh, how they laughed!

The sun was shining!
