📖 Read The Red Raincoat Story
On Sunday, Sifaw’s parents got him a red raincoat. “Mom, may I wear it now?” asked Sifaw. “No, my dear. The rain is near, but just now the sky is clear,” said Mom.
Monday was bright and sunny. “Mom, will it rain today?” asked Sifaw. “No, Sifaw, not today. If you wear your raincoat, you will look quite funny,” said Mom.
On Tuesday, the sky was blue. “Mom, WHEN will my wish come true?” asked Sifaw. “Not today, my dear. There are only white clouds in the sky!” said Mom.
Wednesday was HOT. “Mom, WHY doesn’t it rain?” asked Sifaw. “Son, I think it will rain very soon. Maybe even before it is noon,” said Mom.
On Thursday, Sifaw went on a picnic. “Mom, what if it rains? Shall I take my raincoat with me?” he asked. “No, my dear. It will not rain today. The little white clouds are too high in the sky,” said Mom.
Friday was cloudy. “Mom, will it rain TODAY?” Sifaw asked loudly. “It might, my dear. There are some dark clouds low down in the sky,” said Mom.
Saturday began with a BANG! Kababoom! “Mom, is that thunder I hear? Will it rain very soon?” asked Sifaw.
And then at last, it started raining. “Oh, it’s raining. It’s raining,” sang Sifaw, running outside. “But Sifaw,” called his mother, running after him, “you forgot your red raincoat!”
