The picnic and the rain
Read the story first, then answer.
Kit's rainy picnicKit packed a basket with a sandwich, an apple and a little cake. He and Bun had planned a picnic on the big green hill, under the old oak tree. On Saturday, drip, drop, drip went the rain. The hill was too wet for a picnic. Kit felt let down, and he let himself feel it. "I know you were looking forward to it," said his grown-up. "Yes," said Kit. "I wanted the hill, the sun and the oak tree." "We cannot change the rain," said his grown-up, "but we can change the plan." Then Bun came in. "A blanket fort!" she said. They spread out the food on the rug, and Rex wriggled in too. It was not their plan, but it was a very good day.
