It was raining cats and dogs, and foolish Ralph had left his jacket in the park. “You are dumber than a post!” teased Ralph’s sister Sarah. “But my love for you is like a red, red, rose. So, I’ll help you find your jacket in the rain! Anyway, it has the house keys in the pocket and I would welcome shelter—I’m soaked like a sponge.” Ralph and Sarah raced between the raindrops toward the park to look for the jacket. Neither of them had eaten since lunch, and they were feeling as weak as kittens. “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse,” moaned Ralph. “I feel like a wet rag,” said Sarah, wiping the rain from her face. “If you would have given me the keys like I asked, we wouldn’t be in this pickle!” Ralph felt bad. He knew Sarah was right. He should have given her the keys an hour ago when she wanted to go home. Instead, he played the bossy big brother and made her wait. Just as they reached the park, the heavens opened! Ralph spotted his jacket and grabbed it before a big gust of wind could send it sailing. Ralph and Sarah ran home as fast as they could. Their mother was waiting for them at the door with dry towels and hot chocolate. She’d gotten home from work early. Ralph gave Sarah a sarcastic grin. “Don’t even say it!” warned Sarah. “Or I’ll be tempted to beat you like a drum!” They both started to laugh.
