📖 READING

Title: A Rainy Day Decision

Sophie and her friends planned to visit the store on Saturday afternoon. They needed food, drinks, and snacks for their weekend trip. However, the weather forecast said it was going to rain all day.

Sophie checked the sky in the morning. It looked dark and cloudy. "If it rains, we won’t go out," she said. "We don’t want to get wet and cold."

At 1:00 PM, it started to rain heavily. They waited for a while, but the rain didn’t stop. In the end, they stayed home and ordered groceries online.

The next day, the sun came out. It was warm and dry. Sophie smiled and said, "We’ll go shopping today instead!"
