Frog tapped a bowl with a wooden spoon. The sound was too loud, so he wrapped the spoon in cloth and tried again.

Daisy made a slow parade path around the table and away from the slippery doorway. Everyone practiced taking small steps.

They marched with soft taps, bright flags, and happy quacks. Even the rain seemed to tap along on the roof.

When Rabbit’s flag fell onto the floor, the whole parade stopped. Rabbit picked it up, and everyone waited before marching again.

Rain taps on the roof today.
Daisy finds an indoor way.
Flags are wet outside the door.
Frog feels sad they can't explore.
Daisy says, "We'll march inside."
Friends dry every flag with pride.
Change the plan and march along.
Soft taps make a rainy song.
Small safe steps for everyone.
Indoor parades can still be fun.
Paper tubes hold flags up high.
Frog taps bowls, then all friends cry,
"That is loud!" He wraps the spoon.
Now soft tapping fills the room.
Change the plan and march along.
Soft taps make a rainy song.
Small safe steps for everyone.
Indoor parades can still be fun.
Round the table, far from rain,
Daisy makes a careful lane.
Rabbit's flag falls to the floor.
Friends all wait, then march once more.
Bright flags wave and raindrops play.
Everyone can join today.
Changing plans with friends in mind
Turns gray rain to happy time.
Quack and tap beneath the roof,
Rainy parades bring happy cheer.
