Building a house

It has started to rain. Drops are falling everywhere. The houses and the streets are getting wet.

Woodsy Dapplefluff stops at a tree, right beside the bridge. The tree has large branches with many leaves. He stays nice and dry under the tree. But not for long, because the wind starts to blow. The wind swirls under and between the branches. It takes the raindrops with it. They fall on Dapplefluff's head.

A man is walking across the bridge. He’s in a hurry. He walks deeply hunched under a large umbrella, so he doesn't get wet. It looks like the man is walking beneath a ball. His legs are two sticks poking out from underneath.

"I don't have an umbrella," Dapplefluff thinks.

The rain is bouncing and dancing everywhere. The wind is having fun being a tease. It sweeps under the man's umbrella. Suddenly the ball turns into a bowl. The wind blows harder, and the man is lifted up. Now he is floating high in the sky past the tree. The wind is blowing, and the man is waving.

"I'm flying home!" he shouts.

Dapplefluff watches him and waves back, until the man has disappeared over the rooftops.

"I want to go home too, so I won't get wet. But I don't have a house," Dapplefluff thinks.
