Tiana's mother stepped outside and sighed.
"Tiana, I hope you're not getting your dress muddy! I just washed it yesterday!"
"No, Mama!" Tiana said. I'm staying on the sidewalk, but look! The rain made a little cliff here!"
Her mother laughed. "Maybe if you're a frog."
"They could jump over the cliff, then!" Tiana giggled.
"Well, if you want to play with the frogs, I'll bring you some flies for dinner," her mother teased.
"Ew! No!" Tiana groaned. "Is Daddy home yet?"
"He'll be home in a few minutes. Why don't you get inside and wash up now."
"Okay, Mama."
