Rain!

It's finally raining!!! I'm so excited! Papa will finally get paid for all the strawberries and oats he has harvested!!!  Finally, we will have a hot dinner.  And maybe, after he and ma go dancin, he'll bring me back that pink ribbon I've been wanting for my hair. I know I shouldn't want for things like that, what with the scarcity of more important things and all, but I can't help it. That mean old Betsy Humton always wears TWO in her hair each day, and she is such a priss about them, I just want some of my own!  I know Paw would be upset with me if he heard me going on like that, but sometimes I just can't help coveting! I hope God is real.  Or else, what's the point of all this?
