Retell the story Rain. Remember to talk about the beginning, middle, and end.
In the beginning, the land was very hot and dry.
Then, the animals used their senses to smell, hear, see, feel, and taste the rain.
Next, the animals enjoyed the cool mud and drank from the water hole. The grass was green.
Finally, the sun dried up the land again and the plains were hot and dry.
