However, by the time they went there, the weather changed all of sudden. The
dark clouds were covering the sun and it started showering. Fortunately, Rani
remembered she brought a raincoat. She put on her raincoat while Sinta was
looking for umbrella boy who rented umbrella in the park. They were walking
toward looking for a tree for shelter while the umbrella got the umbrella for them.
While they were waiting for the rain stopped, they played by themselves. Rani
played water that fell in front of her while Sinta was playing with her umbrella.
They were very happy that day. They would never forget their experience went to
the park for their holiday.

The weather was cloudy yesterday. The wind was blowing hard. Angie thought it
was going to rain. Soon, it was raining hard. Her grandpa was driving his truck
carefully because it was hard to see the road. When he arrived at home, her sister,
Mary, gave him some dry clothes and a towel. Meanwhile, her brother, Bobby
was outside the house for closing the barn. Because it was raining, he wore a
raincoat. Grandpa was very thankful to Mary. While her grandpa was drying his
body, her grandma sewed a cloth and her little brother was playing with his cat.
Because it was raining hard outside, they couldn’t do anything outside. So they
spent their time together in the house.
