When the Storm Comes

When stormy skies threaten, people stock up on supplies, bring in their outside toys, and check the news for updates. And during the storm, if the power goes out, they can play games and tell stories by candlelight.

But what do animals do? They watch and listen, look for a cozy den or some other sheltered spot, and hunker down to wait.

After the storm, while the people are cleaning up their yards, making repairs, and checking on the neighbours, the animals emerge from their hiding places and shake off the rain. And everyone is happy to be out in the sunshine again, grateful for better weather and the company of friends.
