Thursday
Read or recite the following poem to the children. Talk about where the rain comes from, and what becomes of the water. The children are old enough to understand and appreciate it all, if the explanation be made sufficiently simple.
THE RAIN DROPS’ RIDE
Some little drops of water,
Whose home was in the sea,
To go upon a journey
Once happened to agree.
A white cloud was their carriage;
Their horse, a playful breeze;
And over town and country
