Stomp! Splash! 花花 jumped into the biggest, brownest puddle at the park. Mud went everywhere.
He stopped midway and looked up. "Where do you come from?" he barked at the empty blue sky.
Plop. A single, cold drop of water fell right onto his nose. Achoo! He shook his ears.
He watched the little drop slide off and land in a dry, dusty footprint on the path.
Pitter-patter. More drops tumbled down. The little footprint filled up, turning into a tiny new puddle.
Splash! He leaped in, trying to catch the ripples with his teeth.
Just then, the rain stopped. The bright sun peeked through the clouds, glowing warmly over the damp park.
花花 turned around to splash some more, but his lovely puddle was rapidly shrinking.
He vigorously scratched at the dry, cracked dirt. He whined softly, dropping his tail straight down.
Suddenly, magic! Squiggly lines of white mist floated straight up from the hot dirt.
He bounced on his hind legs, snapping at the air, trying to catch the mist before it drifted away.
The mist traveled high into the sky, building a fluffy cloud. 花花 wagged his tail and smiled. He knew the cloud would bring his puddles right back!
