Clouds cover the sky.
The rain falls.
The rain waters the earth.
The flowers in the garden are glad.
The red rose is glad.
The white lily is glad.
The green grass is glad.
The rain makes the grass grow.
The sheep and the cows eat the grass.
God gives the rain.
God makes the grass grow for the sheep and the cows.
| "Praise ye the Lord; Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains." |
| Psalms 147:8. |
