Page 7 - How Sophie Grumble Guts Got Her Name

One day though - it started to rain.
It rained and it rained and then it rained

some more.

The rain made puddles and then they grew and filled up the space and the

water got higher and higher. The river got too high for its banks and all

the water sloshed over the sides and went rushing down the street in a
wild torrent.

Emergency Services people had to pick Ethel up and take her somewhere

safe where there wasn’t so much water because the river invaded her

house.

While Ethel was being rescued, Sophie (who had been asleep in her little
dog bed) was swept up in the water and washed right out the door.
