“Wow!” said Blue Dragon, feeling curious. He tried jumping into a puddle too. “This is so fun! What else can we do in the rain?”
“Follow me!” said Pink Dragon. “Look at what the rain did to the stream!”
“It turned into a river!” exclaimed Blue Dragon, amazed.
“Look, I made little boats! Do you want to race them?” asked Pink Dragon.
