RAIN comes from the clouds. Look, there are black clouds now in the sky. How fast they move along! See, they have hidden the sun. They have covered up the sun, just as you cover up your face when you put something over it. But there is one little bit of blue sky still.
Now there is no blue sky at all: it is all black with the clouds. It is very dark, like night. It will rain soon.
Now the rain begins. What large drops! The ducks are very glad; but the little birds are not glad, —they go and shelter themselves under the trees.
Now the rain is over. It was only a shower. Now the flowers smell sweet,and the bright sun shines, and the little birds sing again.
雨是从云里来的。瞧,这时候天上就飘着乌云呢!乌云飘得多快啊!看,把太阳都藏起来了!乌云遮住了太阳,就跟你把什么东西放在脸上,就遮住了脸一样。可是,还余下了一小片蓝天。
这时候,一点儿蓝天也没有了,都被乌云遮暗了。天变得黑漆漆的,跟晚上一样。很快就要下雨了。
雨终于下起来了。这雨滴可真大呀!鸭子们都特别高兴,但小鸟儿们可不高兴,全都躲到树下去了。
雨停了。只是一场阵雨。这时候,花朵散发着方向,明亮的太阳又在头顶上照耀,小鸟儿又开始唱歌了。
