Now I've got to stay in-doors all day, and I know I shall have a wretched day.""Perhaps so," said Uncle Jack; "but you need not have a bad day unless you choose.""How can I help it? I wanted to go to the park and hear the band, and take Fido and play on the grass, and have a good time, and pull wild flowers, and eat sandwiches under the trees; and now there isn't going to be any sunshine at all, and I'll have to just stand here and see it rain, and see the water run off the ducks' backs."
