He plays football with his classmates.

During the break, Tom plays football with his friends. He is fast and good at kicking the ball. One day, the ball flies over the fence. Tom climbs the fence to get it back. He jumps down and lands in a flowerbed. He gets dirty but finds the ball. He runs back to his friends. They laugh and play again. After school, Tom walks home. He feels happy and tired.

One morning, it rains. Tom looks out the window. The sky is grey and cloudy. He wears a raincoat and boots. He walks to school slowly because the road is wet. At school, the playground is muddy.
