"It doesn't," said Donald, laughing. "That's why it rains."
"But where does it all go to?" asked Uncle Robert.
"Oh," said Susie, "it just goes into the ground."
"Some of it runs off into the river," said Donald. "That's what makes it rise when it rains hard."
"I wonder if it has risen much to-day?" said Frank.
"We might put on our rubber boots and walk down and see," said Uncle
Robert. "It is clearing off finely."
"It is almost supper time now," said Mrs. Leonard. "If you'll wait I'll help Jane get it ready, and then you can go as soon as it is over."
So they waited, and by the time they started the sun was shining brightly. It would be a whole hour before it would set.
