What is the beginning of the book "The Cat in The Hat"?

Question

I'm not sure, this just sort of crossed my mind...

I forget how the beginning goes! I'm not looking for a summery. I'm looking for the exact words. It was something about a rainy day, and Sally and Conrad were looking out the window... but in Dr.Suess's words, I'm blanked!

Does anyone remember?

Oh, and would you mind answering my other question?

Answer 1

The Sun Did Not Shine

It Was Too Wet To Play

So We Sat In The House

On That Cold Cold Wet Day

Answer 2

Just to let you know, the name Conrad didn't show up until the movie. The boy in the book never had a name.

The sun did not shine.

It was too wet to play.

So we sat in the house

All that cold, cold, wet day.

I sat there with Sally,

We sat there, we two.

And I said, "How I wish

We had something to do!"

Too wet to go out

And too cold to play ball.

So we sat in the house.

We did nothing at all.
