The clouds sailed across the sky faster and faster.
It was almost as dark as night.
And Bunny slept on, under the big oak tree.
Patter, patter, patter! the rain drops fell on the oak leaves.
Easter and faster they fell. In a few minutes the leaves were wet.
Then the water began to fall down on the ground at the foot of the tree.
One great big drop fell on Bunny's nose. Then another fell on his ear.
He waked up with a start.
"What is the matter?" he said. "What is the matter?"
He opened his eyes wide and then he knew what was the matter.
