Esmerelda is delighted with all the rain and snow (after all, who ever heard of a cow in a bathtub?) but finds the umbrellas unnecessary. Still, not everyone is happy in the rain, so she delights in being able to offer shelter to any friends who happen to be visiting. Her butterfly friends are usually happy to be out of the rain. The tiny green kitty, now she is a mystery. She's so small, she fits in between the raindrops! She's a homely little thing, but Esmerelda is too polite to say so. Then again, how can this much rain come from such tiny clouds? Esmerelda is stumped, but continues to enjoy what rain they provide. Especially when there is such a variety of sunny faces to warm her after her "spring showers"! She is thankful that they are always big enough to warm her all over. All in all, it's a wonderful life for a cow!
