with her mother. Then she watched
the coming streams.
Her feet were now soaking wet. She
looked up into the top of the umbrella
to see If she could climb up. She saw
one place where she might sit. When
she got up she found that it was dry
and a little warmer.
She did not sleep a wink all that
night. When morning came the sun
shone bright. Erica hoped down and
looked around, but did not see any
thing. Then she Immediately flew
through the fresh morning air, across
the meadows and home to her worried
mother.
Her mother was very glad to see her,
and she decided right then that she
would obey her mothers wishes. She
now saw how much wiser her mother
was than she had thought.
She awoke the next morning early.
The clouds were dark and she thought
1t would rain. She had some honey
with her, so she ate some for her
breakfast. But she was careful to
save some for her lunch and supper.
Then she sat down under a toadstool
which served the purposes of an UNI
brella very nicely. She cut a tiny
toadstool with her knife and flew off
with 1t in the rain.
BY and by the rain stopped, but the
wind blew hard and it started to rain
again harder and harder. The wind
took her toadstool umbrella away from
her.
"Oh, my mother said that if my
wings got wet could not fly!"
Pretty soon a big drop of water got
her and drew her to the earth
Now that she could not fly she
walked along very unhappy. After
awhile she came upon a beetle that
chased her a little way. By and by
she saw a stick which she hid behind
and the beetle never saw her again.
After a while she came upon a long,
narrow passage. She went down there
and she found that it was a gopher
