Fishing in the Rain

Fishing in the Rain

The Hoppers had one week left before school began. They were supposed to go camping with Grandpa Grizzly. But it rained and rained. “ Come on, Hoppers. We'll go camping, rain or shine, " said Grandpa Grizzly.

“ Won't the tent get wet?” asked Floppy Ears. “ We won't be able to build a campfire, ” said Speedy Legs. “ Our hot dogs and marshmallows will get soggy, " said Fluffy Tail. “ Camping isn't any fun in the rain, ” sniffed Snubby Nose.

“ But fish always bite when it rains, ” said Grandpa Grizzly. He pulled out four new fishing poles for the Hoppers. “ We'll go fishing! ” cried the Hoppers. “ Thank you, Grandpa Grizzly. "

The four Hoppers carried their poles into the woods. Grandpa Grizzly set up his big tent. Inside, it was dry and comfortable. But the Hoppers didn't mind the rain. They sat on the banks of the river and fished.

Grandpa Grizzly said, “ You must be very quiet so you don't scare the fish. ” Just then, Speedy Legs began to sneeze. He sneezed so loudly that not a fish would bite. Then Floppy Ears began to cough. She coughed so much that the fish all swam away.
