Chapter 9: Rain, Rain Go Away

I don't like rain. It's wet, for one thing. And my fur gets all damp and matted. And who likes that?! Then I get cold. I don't like to be cold.

So when it rains, I like to curl up in a little ball. No kidding. I find a couple of my nest buddies and we get to our nest as quickly as we can. It usually keeps out most of the rain. Then we can wrap our tails around ourselves and huddle together. That helps us keep warm.

But yeah, yeah — I know. Rain is really good for all those trees and flowers and everything in our habitats. And it makes nice little puddles for us to splash in and drink. So, I guess it's ok once in a while. Just keep those hurricanes away!
