One day, Jake and Tim planned to sail
on the lake, but the heavy rain changed
their plans. They sat by the window and
watched as the drops fell with a steady
beat.
"I don’t want to just wait inside," Mia
said with a weep. "Let’s find something
fun to do!"
Jake smiled and grabbed a book from the
shelf. "We can read a story about a great
team of pirates!"
Mia liked the idea. She made a warm cup
of tea and picked a soft wool blanket.
They curled up on the couch and started
reading. Outside, the roof kept them dry,
and the cool air from the rain filled the
room.
By the time they finished their story, the
rain had stopped. A bright moon
appeared in the sky. "Maybe we can sail
tomorrow," Jake said.
Mia nodded and smiled. "And we’ll have
a new story to tell!"
