Grammar in this story

1 concepts

In the afternoon, there is only one small dark cloud in the sky.

But the orange cat keeps sitting under the covered walkway and refuses to come out.

Xiaoqing says, “Let’s move the chairs outside in.”

The noodle shop owner says, “Let’s bring in the flowers under the sign too.”

Everyone works for half an hour, but the rain does not come.

The covered walkway fills with chairs, flowers, and freshly cooked noodles.

The owner laughs and says, “Since we are all here, let’s eat together.”

Only then does the orange cat come out and sit beneath the chair closest to the noodle pot.
