The Rainy Day
When the rain won’t stop, Max and his sister find a fun game to play inside.
It is raining outside, so Max and his sister Amy cannot play in the park.
“What can we do?” asks Amy. Max thinks for a moment.
“Let’s build a fort with blankets and pillows!” says Max.
They build a big fort in the living room and read books inside it.
By the time the rain stops, Max and Amy don’t even want to go outside anymore.
