Where is the Rain?

The giraffe and the elephant went for a walk.

They stopped in some shade and started to talk; "I wish it would rain," said the giraffe with a sigh. "I'm tired of watching the clouds pass us by!" "Yes," said the elephant, "Where is the rain? I wish I could eat fresh green leaves again. The sun is so hot and the land is so dry; When will the rain fall from the sky? "Later in the day the sky turned grey, The flying ants flew out to say, "The rain is coming! We smell it in the air! And in the distance, thunder we hear! "The giraffe and the elephant looked up at the sky And heard the black eagle give forth his cry, "The rain has come, The rivers will flow; The dry season is over; now the green grass will grow!"
