M: Oh, look at the sky, Cathy! It''s starting to get cloudy.
W: I see it. I hope it doesn''t rain. I thought it was going to be a fine day today.
M: That''s certainly what the department was hoping for when they chose today as the day for the annual picnic.
W: You can''t have a picnic without good weather. You need sunshine for all the eating and games and entertainment.
M: Yeah, sunshine—but not too much! Do you remember last year?
W: I sure do. It was so hot all we did was look for shade, look for ways to escape from the sun.
M: And no one wanted to participate in any of the planned activities. All we wanted was cold drinks. And then dozed off.
W: If there had just been the tiniest breeze to cool us off ...
M: But there wasn''t. Just the burning sun, without a cloud in the sky, and the temperature just seemed to climb higher and higher.
W: Well, we don''t have that problem this year, apparently. Alan, did you hear the weather forecast? Is it supposed to rain?
M: I don''t know. I didn''t catch the weather report. But maybe if it rains, it will only be a short shower which cools thing off a little. That might not be bad.
