## Complete selected source

Complete original fiction: Willow Hall's forecaster issues a message at story Monday breakfast about story Tuesday's eleven-o'clock view: rain is possible at Willow Hall during that view. The message is a prediction, not a Tuesday observation. Indoor picture host Ria has a rain-line picture and a cloud-character picture; both are suitable imaginary indoor choices. Ria may choose the rain-line topic if the relevant later report records rain, or another topic if it does not. No Tuesday result, actual host choice, amount, duration or cause is supplied. The child need not read clock numerals, choose Ria's plan or make a correct guess.
