Marching Around for Rain

Practice Words

far around carefree dark marches parched start starts
Page 1
In the lower half of the image, Kaa stands at a three-quarter angle facing the viewer in the centre of a vast, flat, dry landscape, holding his wooden walking cane in one hand, his other hand raised toward the sky as he sings, with a musical note floating near his head. He has an open-mouthed, hopeful expression as he calls out to the clouds. Faint footprints trail behind him across the dusty ground. Sparse dry scrub brush dots the barren terrain on either side. The top half is open sky with a few wispy clouds, conveying a sense of wide-open emptiness and solitude.

Bart is on a vast, parched plain. He grips his rod and sings up at the clouds. Rain, rain, rain!

On the left side of the image, Kaa walks along a dry, dusty road, holding his wooden walking cane in his right hand while pointing his left hand up at the sky as he sings, with a musical note floating near his head. He has a joyful, open-mouthed expression, looking upward as if calling to the clouds. The outdoor scene shows a flat, arid landscape under a pale green sky with a few wispy white clouds and sparse dry brush along the roadside — the right side of the image is open sky and empty background.

Bart marches on the path and sings his song. A cloud drifts past him, but it is far, far up.

On the left side of the image, Kaa stands at a three-quarter angle, holding his wooden walking cane in one hand, with a wide-eyed surprised expression as he spins around to look behind him. On the right side, Dino, a large bright lime-green stegosaurus with bold orange triangular plates along his back and lighter green oval spots on his body, stomps toward Kaa, mouth open in a cheerful grin, looking happy and excited. The scene is set outdoors on a flat, sandy path under a pale blue sky with a few wispy clouds. Small dust clouds rise near Dino's feet from the thumping steps. Musical notes float in the air near Kaa, suggesting he was singing before being interrupted.

Thump, thump! Bart spins around. It is Dan, a big green pal. He grins and stomps up the trail.

On the left side of the image, Dino stands with his mouth wide open, grinning joyfully and singing, with musical notes floating around him. Kaa walks alongside Dino in the foreground, stepping forward energetically with his wooden walking cane in one hand, his other arm raised, mouth open as he sings together with Dino. The scene is set outdoors on a flat, sandy landscape under a pale green sky with a few wispy clouds, with a small dry shrub visible in the mid-ground. The right side of the image is open background with just sand and sky.

Bart and Dan start a loud rain chant. Stomp, stomp! Clap, clap! Dan sings so loud that the shrub rocks!

On the right side of the image, Kaa stands holding his wooden walking cane, his free hand raised high in celebration, looking up at the sky with a joyful, praising expression and mouth open in a shout of gratitude. Dino stands just behind Kaa, also gazing upward with wide, excited eyes and a big open-mouthed smile, bouncing on his stubby legs with excitement. Dark storm clouds roll in from above, with a bolt of lightning striking the dry, barren ground on the left. Rain begins to fall across the scene as the flat, arid landscape starts to receive the promised rain.

Dark clouds rush in. Crack! A bolt hits the land. Drip, drop! The rain starts, and Bart shouts out.

On the left side of the image, Kaa stands gripping the brim of his wide-brimmed explorer hat with one hand as he sways happily in the rain, a cheerful, contented expression with closed, happy eyes and a gentle open-mouthed smile on his face. His other hand rests on his walking cane, which is planted upright on the ground beside him. He wears his brown backpack with a blue bedroll and red neckerchief. Dino stands beside Kaa, mouth wide open shouting with glee, eyes closed in a joyful smile, with musical notes floating above his head. The outdoor scene is set against a grey, rainy sky with raindrops streaking down across the image, while the right side remains open background.

Splash! The rain soaks Bart, but he is glad. Dan sings his carefree song. We did it, we did it!
