Tiniest Raindrop wondered how any
one could be SO happy and so con-
tented in such dark place, so he
rolled over and asked little Brown
Root.
"One never finds it dark or lone
some when one is busy. We're so, busy
helping these little plants grow that
we never have time to worry about
darkness" replied little Brown Root
and she told the Raindrops how they
might help the little Seed Babies by
softening the ground.
Before long all the Raindrops were
hard at work trying to make the dirt
soft and rich so the brown roots
could grow more quickly.
They grew to love their work SO
much that they forgot about the dark
ness of their cells in their desire to
help the struggling roots. and the time
flew by quickly.
One day a long tower was put down
into their prison and the Raindrops
were caught and whirled, jostled and
squeezed through the long dark tower
until at last they ran forth into the
bright golden sunlight. right on to a
beautiful velvety green lawn.
These are the little Seed Babies and
Brown Roots we have helped" cried
Tiniest Raindrop as he danced over
the pretty plants.
Yes. How foolish and selfish we
must have been and how jolly it is to
do things to help others laughed
the Raindrops. and they hurried over
the lawn washing the dusty leaves
and tall grasses.
Mr.. Sun was so proud of the once
selfish, lazy little Raindrops that he
called them back into their home ir
the skies, where to this day they live
always ready to help others when
Mother Cloud calls on them. They
had learned to labor for the love OF
their work.
