Began to scowl and pout and say -Olv

An old man stood, wiUi hoe in. hand,

file seemed at work upon tlie land.
uIIa! ha! V the cloudlet laughed and said,

tuns 4- V -
I'll rain upon yoUr,hoai nead,
My ancient mend, and make you run.1
But thoush the cloud rained C hard
and
The farmer wouldn't budge a biV-
Till in a pet the cloud at last vf
Cried out, I never saw 'such gril!H

Because the fanner wouldif? scare,
It sulked and frowned the livelong day.
