I put tea in my bag as well.

Was the weather good too?

It was very good in the morning.

But halfway through, it started raining!

Oh no! That was tough!

Were you surprised?

But we changed our plans.

Please tell us yesterday's story!

Yes. It's a story from around 11 AM yesterday.

Before lunch!

Did you go to the park?

Yes. I went to a spacious park with my friend.

I brought sandwiches.

There was fruit and tea as well.

That sounds like a delicious picnic!

Yes. We spread out our mat under a big tree.

Then we were about to eat our bento.

So, what happened?

Suddenly, the sky turned dark!

And it started raining!

Oh dear! It started raining!

Yes. Strong rain started falling.

Was the bento okay?

I hurriedly put it in my bag!

My clothes got a bit wet too.

That was rough!

Where did you go?

There was a roof in the park.

We went to that place.

A place with a roof? That was good!

Yes. It's a small sheltered roof called 'azumaya'.

Azumaya!

Japanese parks often have them!

Yes. There were benches, so we avoided rain.

On rainy days, people make dolls.

Dolls? What kind of doll?

A white doll called 'teru teru bozu'.

You hang it by the window to make a wish!

I hope it turns sunny tomorrow!

Exactly! Children often make them!

What a cute culture!

I want to make one too!

We were watching the rain under the shelter.

Did the rain not stop easily?

Yes. Strong rain was falling.

It was a pity you couldn't eat outside.

Yes. But I thought of a good plan!

Wow! What kind of plan?

I will tell you after this!

What did you do after the sheltered roof?

I will make a phone call to my friend.

'I will make a phone call'!

That's the 4th phrase!

Yes. I called a friend nearby.

What did you say?

A warm room is nice!

Yes. My body is cold.

I drink warm tea.

'I drink warm tea'!

That's the 3rd phrase!

Drinking warm tea, we talked together.

We lined up our bento on the table.

A picnic in the room is fun too!

Yes. After a while, I looked outside.

Then, the rain stopped!

'The rain stopped'!

That's the 5th phrase!

Yes. A big rainbow appeared in the sky!

Wow! You saw a rainbow!

Plans changed.

But it was very fun!

'It was very fun'!

That's the 6th phrase!

Yes. Everyone laughed a lot together!

Here, let's talk about teams!

On rainy days, I want to eat at home.

I want to talk comfortably.
