Okay, our friends!
So today we are reading a story called, Home in the Rain.
And today's story was written by Mr. Bob Graham.
And before we read it, I would like to pose a question to you.
Have you ever been in the car when it rains?
It can be very strange to be in a car when it's raining, can't it?
The sky will be dark and maybe you think, I could just take a nap.
And maybe the noise is loud and you think, oh, this is scary.
I can't see what's around me.
Well today's story is about a little girl who is in the rain and she's got some interesting takes on it and it gives her time to think about stuff So let's see what she's gonna get up to today's story is read by mommy and Philip is not with me today surprise It's true.
I usually have him sitting right here cuddled up with me, but he said My head hurts.
I want to lay down and I said,
okay want me to read you a story and he said I need it to be quiet and so we're letting him have quiet and I thought oh but all of our friends are counting on a story I'll go read them this story and then I'll read this to Philip when he wakes up so here we go home in the rain didn't it rain it hit the highway bucketing down on Francie and her mom and her baby sister on their way home from grandma's.
It rained on endless lines of cars and buses and oil tankers and trucks and windshield wipers into spare.
But the rain was going nowhere except down.
Francy, mom, and baby sister, a long way from home.
A big rig passed.
on a long haul trip headed for heaven knows where and it rocked them in road spray and washed them up into the picnic area can you imagine that says this big truck above the highway it rained on the hill and a baby rabbit died to recover.
It rained on a field mouse wet and confused in the blackberries and lucky too
because 300 feet up a kestrel had lost sight of its prey.
