Chapter 22
The Tickly Rain and the Green Leaf Umbrella
Year 1 of the Rainbow Era, Spring Late Afternoon
After a little while, a fuzzy little bumblebee wakes up and says hello to Chloe, Blossom, and Pip in the warm afternoon sun.
A soft grey cloud floats over the green meadow. The cloud drops tiny, cool raindrops. The water feels tickly on Chloe's toes. Chloe has long pink hair and a pretty rainbow daisy crown. Pip and Blossom giggle as the cool rain falls down. A tiny raindrop lands right on Chloe's nose, and she laughs out loud.
More cool raindrops fall from the grey sky. Chloe grabs Pip by his tiny hand. They run quick as little mice across the grass. They run fast under a broad green fern leaf to stay dry from the cool rain. Blossom flies up fast and giggles at them from above.
Blossom and Pip quickly grab the edges of a giant clover leaf and hold it high. Chloe runs under the green leaf roof with a big smile. The rain makes a sweet tapping sound on top of the leaf like a tiny drum. Chloe, Blossom, and Pip sit together out of the wet rain. They feel very safe and cozy under the green leaf umbrella.
Soon, the little grey cloud floats away in the blue sky. The warm sun comes back out to shine on the meadow. A cute little puddle sits right in the green grass. Chloe looks down into the clear water. She sees bright pink and blue colors shining back at her from her star daisy crown. Chloe splashes her toes in the shiny water, and the day is full of bright happy colors.
