Swoosh! Rushing wind rattled her windowpane. “That noise has got to stop.” Ally hopped out of bed and opened the window. “Excuse me, Mr. Wind!”
“Yes, little girl?” whooshed a gentle breeze. “I’m sorry, but you’re keeping my bat and me awake.” “But when will I whiz, wail, and whoo?” asked Mr. Wind.

All was quiet, all was well. Ally slept, until . . .
Rat-a-tat-tat! Dripping drops dashed across the roof. “Oh now what?” Ally stomped across the carpet. “Excuse me, Miss Rain!”
“Yes, little girl?” pitter-pattered the petite pellets.

“But I need to splish, splash, and splosh,” said
Miss Rain. “I’m on a strict schedule.”
“Do it some other time. Tomorrow is a big day.”
