"Hello，"the fish said to the flowers and the trees．She_____ on and saw animals sitting on fallen trees which were sticking out of the water．But as soon as she swam closer to the trees，she saw that all the animals were very sad．"We are without_____．The water has flooded the whole forest，"the animals told the fish _____．All this made the fish very unhappy．

"I am _____with this rain but my friends﹣trees and animals are quite unhappy．Oh little fairy!Please ____ the rain．I will go back to my pond．I will be more pleased when trees，animals and birds are happy，"pleaded the fish．The water began to _____，and the animals were very glad and ran off，and the fish _____to the pond and she was happier than ever before．
