Story
，。。。
Today, water is coming down from the sky. Xiao Ming and Xiao Mei cannot go out to play. They are inside.
：。。，，。
Xiao Ming says: I don't know what to do. Xiao Mei doesn't know either. They look at the water outside, look for a while, and feel a bit unhappy.
：，。：，。，。
Xiao Ming says: I want to go out and play, but I can't. Xiao Mei says: Yes, today we cannot go out. They sit inside with nothing to do.
，。：，！，？：！
Then Xiao Mei thinks of an idea. She says: We can play without going out! Let's play a game inside, all right? Xiao Ming says: Great!
。，，。，。！
They make up a game. One of them acts it out, the other watches, and then they laugh together. They play this and they play that. This game is wonderful!
。，。：！
They play for a long time. Outside there is still water, but Xiao Ming and Xiao Mei are very happy. Xiao Ming says: Today is the best day!
