           Little 

       RAINDROP 

When I was a raindrop,

I lived up in a cloud.

One day, Thunder rumbled by

and BOOMED out very loud.

" Come now,

little raindrops,

get ready to let go.

You've got important 

work to do down in

the world below."

"Oooh!" cried all the raindrops.

"See you later, Cloud. Goodbye!"

A FLASH of zigzag lightning 

                    streaked across the sky.

" Have fun,"

    said Cloud.

" I wish that I could 

come along with you!"

They jumped into the air, and I jumped with them too.

Oh, what fun to be a raindrop flying free.

"Wheee!"

Down and down we fell ,

giggling ,  shouting ,

From high up in the sky, we saw the earth below.

Sunbeams shone through us and made a lovely big rainbow.

After that,

quite suddenly,

I landed with a

And dribbled down the tail

SPLAT!

of a soggy farmyard cat.

I seeped 

into

the soil,

trickling

down and 

down...

... past

green,

wiggling

worms,

far below

the ground.

I saw a friendly mole, 

who was digging by some shoots.

Before I knew it, I'd been

sucked into their roots.

SHLUP!

I traveled

slowly up

the stem.

It was quite

a climb!

"Hello,"

smiled the 

flower bud.

"You're here 

just in time."

"This way," the flower told me, and then it opened wide. 

What a nice surprise to see my raindrop friends inside!
