"But, mother," said Lucy, "I do not
like the rain very well. It
makes me stay in the house
when I want to go and play.

See how fast it rains! I shall have
to stay at home all day."

evening west clouds those fade

It is evening, and the sun is about to
set. The day will soon be gone.

Let us sit here on the soft grass
and look at the bright clouds
in the west.

Do you think there is any rain in
those little clouds?

Oh, no! Those are not rain clouds.

See how pretty they are!

Some of the clouds are red, and
some are as yellow as gold.
