It had rained and rained in April! Jay and Gail had waited long to hike. May first was a perfect hiking day. Jay gazed west. "I say hiking the west trail is the best way," explained Jay. "Wait a minute!" exclaimed Gail. "April rain brought roses to the main trail. That west trail is plain." "Then on the main trail, you must play Spot That Critter ," Jay said. That's what Jay and Gail did on the main trail. Jay and Gail spotted five quails, a horse munching hay, five gray snails, and six birds paying a visit to a hole filled with rain.
