Let’s read together: The Story of Flying Robert<\/strong> by Heinrich Hoffmann<\/h2>\n

When the rain comes tumbling down
\nIn the country or the town,
\nAll good little girls and boys
\nStay at home and mind their toys.
\nRobert thought, – “No, when it pours,
\nIt is better out of doors.”
\nRain it did, and in a minute
\nBob was in it.
\nHere you see him, silly fellow,
\nUnderneath his red umbrella.<\/p>\n

What a wind! Oh! how it whistles
\nThrough the trees and flow’rs and thistles.
\nIt has caught his red umbrella;
\nNow look at him, silly fellow,
\nUp he flies
\nTo the skies.
\nNo one heard his screams and cries;
\nThrough the clouds the rude wind bore him,
\nAnd his hat flew on before him.<\/p>\n

Soon they got to such height,
\nThey were nearly out of sight!
\nAnd the hat went Up so high,
\nThat it almost touch’d the sky.
\nNo one ever yet could tell
\nWhere they stopp’d, or where they fell;
\nOnly this one thing is plain,
\nRob was never seen again!<\/p>\n
