Mrs. Everitt

Oh, yes. Once there was a little girl who lived in the country.

What country?

Mrs. Everitt

A country something like this. She and her mother lived in a little house beside a brook. The little girl loved to listen to the brook outside her window at night. One day she asked her mother where the brook went to. She didn't want her brook to run away. And what do you suppose her mother said?

What her mother say?

Mrs. Everitt

She said the brook didn't really run away, when it got out of sight across the fields it turned into rain. So then the little girl was glad whenever it rained, because she knew it was the little brook coming back to her.
