📖 1 of 2

It rained all afternoon. I could not go outside. I was a little bored. So I read a book. It was about a dragon. Then I drew a picture. I drew the dragon from the book. I used lots of colors. The rain tapped on the window. I had a snack.

📖 2 of 2

When the rain stopped the sun came out. The air smelled fresh. I went outside to play. The grass was wet. I found a worm on the sidewalk. I put it back in the grass. The rainy afternoon turned out nice.

You did it!
