Rain
Wen clouds get too heavy and
start to leek, the result is rain. If
they Jest leell little its ony a
sprinkle, but good size sprinkel
is drizzel and if it starts to dliz-
eel harder than usual its proberly
RELY raining and the next harder
thing than that is wen it rains like
the dickins. Rain is RELY nuthing
but waiter all divided up.
Its fun to wawk in a sprinkel or
small size dliZzel without a UNI
brella on account of having al the
sensations of being out in the rain
exsept the sensation of getting
wet, but proberly if you ask your
mother to leeve you go out IN
sprinkel she will think there's no
sents to it and say no.
If you have eny doubt about
weather or not its going to rain
the ferst thing to do is LOOK up at
the sky and if there's no clouds
there at all it would even sound
foolish to mention to enybody that
you don't think its going to rain.
and if these ony a few small size
clouds moving Ground in diffrent
place its still nice day, but if its
all dark and fearse looking and
you get hit in the eye by a drop of
water wen you look up, its time to
take your umbrella.
Enutf rain is a good thing,
espeshilly for flowers and farmers,
vile not enuff is bad and makes
dersets and too mulch is still
worse and makes leeks AMI floods.
Its sure to rain sooner or later if
you ony waite long enutf, the ony
trubble being that its libel to come
down wen you'd drather it would
stay up and vice virtue.
