CANAL STREET, DEEPWATER, NJ (16)

   One night it rained really hard. The roof started to leak over the bed. Edie and Susan were wet and cold. The stove went cold too. They got up and went to the kitchen and the roof was leaking out there, too. Edie growled, "Oh no. Where do we start?" There were seven leaks. "Susan, grab anything, pots, bowls. I can't get down on that wet floor. Put the pans where the leaks are coming down. Do you want to play Old Maid?"
   "We can't sleep in our bed," Susan asked.
   "Sure," said Edie, "If you make some coffee. You're going to miss school tomorrow, you know."
