One Saturday morning, Jimmy got up very early. He ran into the kitchen and ate breakfast with his mom. After they finished, Jimmy went to the door.
“What will you do?” asked Mom. “I will play on the swing,” said Jimmy.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea,” said Mom. “It’s raining.”
Jimmy went to the window and looked out. The swing was wet. He sighed (叹气) and went to the kitchen again.
“I don’t like it when it rains,” said Jimmy. “I want to play outside.” “You can play outside tomorrow,” said Mom.
“How can I get to tomorrow? Can I run to tomorrow now? I go really fast when I run,” asked Jimmy.
