1. "Oh! hear the rain!" said Bess. "We can't go out today."

2. Ned cried. Bess dried his tears. "We can still have fun, Ned," she said.

3. "Do you see that wet mud by the back steps? It will just do for mud-pies."

4. Ned was not sad then. "I can get the mud for you, Bess," he said.

5. "Do not get wet, dear," said Mum. "No, I shall get his coat for him and tie on his hat," said Bess.

6. "What must I do with the mud, Bess?" said Ned.

7. "Bump it and rub it in your hands till it is soft," she said.

8. Ned tried. When his mud was soft, he said, "See! I have a pie, Bess." "I have six pies," said Bess.

9. "Oh Bess!" said Ned, "let us have a pie- shop, and when the sun dries the mud, we can sell mud-pies."
