early the next morning it stopped
and soon the sun came out. Great
puddles, or rather lakes, of water
stood all about the ground, and the
little folks splashed around in them
with pleasure. Presently Tilly Tit

in front of the shoehouse and the
little folks gathered around to hear
the news, for lilly was as good as

For two days it had rained and
rained. The big drops splashed upon
the roofs Of the tiny houses under
the rose bush with a continuous roar.
The little folks were forced to stay
indoors, for no Teenie Vicente could
keep his footing under the force OF
