Bobby and the Raindrops.

Once upon a time, because it was
sure that Tom Tit would not come to
play with him. But soon there came
tapping at the windowpane, and
Bobby had only to jump from bed and
on a carriage of rain clouds, sat Tom
Tit himself
Come alongr' cried the tiny fairy
from his floating perch. But wise
slipped on his rubber boots. for he
knew as well as any one that a rain
cloud isn't absolutely dry and that his
mamma might not like to have him
coming home with his stockings all
wet through. Then he gave a bold leap
from the window sill and landed not
an inch away from where Tom Tit
was sitting.
Tom Tit did not have to say a word
to the carriage Of clouds or tell it
where to go. For off it few, and the
swift winds swung it up, up, to the
raindrop waterfall. There it stopped,
at the very edge, and it was a very
good thing that it did, for if Bobby
had tumbled into the waterfall he
would surely have been shot straight
down to earth again, along with a
thousand raindrops. Quite noise they
made, too. in their bouncing hurry. so
that Bobby had to hold his fists tight
over his ears.
Perhaps that was why he didn't hear
Master Soppy Wet approaching.
''Ho, ho!" cried he. rubbing the water
from his left eye and twinkling it at
Bobby. "Who are your
'Why. I'm one of the little people
you pour your horrid rain on replied
Bobby
WELL" said Soppy in his swishy-
swashiest manner, you at any rate
don't seem to have gained much good
from what I have been doing. You're
looking just as little and thin as ever
1t certainly is a shame that boys and
girls don't like me and won't come into
the garden or the fields to play when
ever l send them my shining drops
Just see how silly you are to come up
here with big rubber boots. as if l
wanted to make you sick with chills
and coughs and colds. No. indeed; I
am the man who makes everything
grow tall and strong and beautiful.
Now, silly Bobby, l do wish you would
remove those boots! Please dol"
What was Bobby to do? SO off one
foot and then the other he slipped his
big black boots
But soon Master Soppy Wet looked
Ut his water clock and found that Bob
by ought to be setting out for dry land.
So he sat him down on one rubber
boot and Tom Tit on the other and
with final "swish swash" sent them
flying back to earth. Down, down
they slid on the great, fast toboggan
Of diamond raindrops And where do
you think Bobby landed? Soft and
safe In the arms of the good old sand
man.
