"You girls had better get in the cabin," he added, "for there is no telling when the wind may shift, and blow sparks on your dresses.

On a rainy day Green Valley is just as interesting as it is in the sunshine. Somehow though the big trees sag and drip and the wind sighs about the corners there is nothing mournful about the streets. The children go to school just as joyously in raincoats and rubber boots.

There came a slackening in the showers, and Tom and Ned, donning raincoats, went out to see how the work was progressing.

The First Little Bear said, "It is so far to go." The Second Little Bear said, "I am all out of breath." The Third Little Bear said, "Oh wait 'till to-morrow." Now, will you believe it? The Seventeen Little Bears sat on their seventeen little stools as though, nothing had happened! Bunny and Susan got ready to go out in the rain. They took their raincoats and caps and umbrellas.
