Midge Loves the Rain

 “Hello Jake!” called Midge as she hurried up the walkway to the front porch.  “Are you sleeping?”

   “Not anymore,” said Jake as he sat up.  “Why are you out there in the rain?”

   “The rain is nice, Jake,” said Midge.  “I love to walk in the rain when it is warm outside.”

   “Come on up here and dry off, Midge,” said Jake.  “This is nice sleeping weather.”

    Midge jumped onto the porch and shook the water off her.  “It’s nice to go walking in the rain too.” 

Midge is Happy Today

   “I’m on top of the world. I’m happy as can be,” sang Midge as she skipped along the sidewalk.  “Wouldn’t you like to be happy too?”

   “Hey Midge,” called Jake from the front porch.  “What are you singing?”

   Midge skipped through the gate of the fence and hurried up the walkway to the porch. “I’m just singing. Nothing special.”

   “Why are you singing?”  asked Jake.  “You don’t usually like to sing.” 

   “I know,” said Midge.  “But today, I’m happy happy happy.”

   “Okay,” said Jake.  “Why are you so happy today?”

   “Guess,” said Midge.

Where is Midge?

   “Midge!” called Jake as he and Booker-T walked up the sidewalk to Midge’s house.  “Midge!  Where are you?”

    “Maybe she is in the back Jake,” Said Booker-T as they turned to go back down the steps. 

    “Midge!” called Jake as they walked around the house to the back. 

    When they got to the back yard, they didn’t see Midge there either. 

    “Do you think she is sick Jake?” asked Booker-T.
