[00:00.36]A Rainy Day|[00:02.04] The clouds were very gray.|[00:03.59] There was a loud boom that came from the sky.|[00:06.34] A bolt of lightning struck down a tree.|[00:09.44] All of a sudden buckets of rain came pouring down!|[00:13.24] Jane and Bill were walking in a park|[00:16.16] when the rain started.|[00:17.72] Jane wanted to take pictures of the flowers,|[00:20.14] but the rain got her camera wet.|[00:22.94] She had to put it away so that it wouldn't get ruined.|[00:25.99] Jane was going to hide under a big tree to stay dry,|[00:29.79] but Bill told her that was not a safe idea.|[00:33.02] He said that she could get hurt if the lightning hit the tree.|[00:36.57] The tree could break and fall on her,|[00:39.18] or the lightning could even hit her!|[00:41.54] The air was very chilly.|[00:43.97] Jane and Bill put on their sweaters|[00:46.89] and raincoats to keep warm.|[00:48.76] Jane took her umbrella out and put it up.|[00:51.68] They both walked under it to stay dry.|[00:54.36] The ground was really wet and muddy.|[00:57.34] Bill and Jane were very glad|[00:59.71] that they remembered to wear their boots.|[01:01.70] They ran through the puddles, getting mud and water|[01:04.75] all over the back of their pants.|[01:06.68] As they were running and having fun,|[01:09.04] they saw some ducks.|[01:10.53] There were five of them splashing around in a pond.|[01:13.46] The ducks were not afraid of water;|[01:15.82] they swim in the water all the time!|[01:18.00] Jane and Bill saw some big bull frogs near the pond.|[01:22.16] The frogs jumped into the pond|[01:25.15] when they heard Jane and Bill coming.|[01:27.02] After a little while Jane and Bill decided to go home.|[01:30.88] They got into some dry clothes.|[01:33.30] Jane started to sneeze.|[01:35.67] She had gotten a little bit too wet!|[01:38.09] Bill noticed that the rain had stopped.|[01:40.95] "Look outside Jane," he said.|[01:43.44] Jane wrapped a blanket around her shoulders|[01:46.74] and looked outside.|[01:48.04] There was a beautiful,|[01:49.66] bright rainbow across the sky|[01:51.46] Violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red,|[01:56.00] the rainbow shone high in the sky.|[01:58.87] "I wonder if there's a pot of gold|[02:01.17] on the other side?" Jane asked.|[02:02.97] She had once been told that Leprechauns|[02:05.28] lived on the other side handing out money to those|[02:08.32] that made it to the rainbow's end.|[02:10.19] Bill didn't believe there was a pot of gold.|[02:12.99] Jane ignored Bill though|[02:15.04] and started off across the field,|[02:16.91] to claim her big pot of money.|[02:19.02] Let's hope Jane finds her way back home,|[02:21.76] safe and sound, with a big pot of gold!
