Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to drink hot cocoa. One day, she was having dinner with her family when a big storm hit. The rain was coming down so hard that Lily couldn't breathe! She ran to the closet to grab a coat but all her clothes were soaking wet. Suddenly, she had an idea. She grabbed her coat, put it on over her pajamas, and went outside to play in the rain. She took big breaths of fresh air and danced in the rain like a wild thing. And from that day on, every time it rained, Lily would grab her coat, put it on over her clothes, and go outside to breathe and play in the rain. The end.

Reflections

1. Why did Lily go outside during the storm?
2. What was special about Lily's coat?
3. How did Lily feel when she was dancing in the rain?
4. What do you think will happen the next time it rains?
5. Have you ever gone outside to play in the rain? How did it feel?
