阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was an Art lesson. Rachel sat at the desk watching her classmates busy preparing the water jars and paints. She understood why Mrs. Weston asked her to sit down and got Lisa to fetch everything for her. It was always a disaster when Rachel tried to do Art!
Rachel sighed and reached out to dip her brush in some black paint and—oh, no! She knocked over the jar. The water spread across the desk and drowned the paper. Lisa called Mrs. Weston to see what Rachel had done. Rachel went red in the face. She jumped to her feet to get a cloth. Her chair fell over backwards. She turned round and her paintbrush caught Lisa across the face, giving her a black moustache. Lisa was so surprised that she fell back against a wire bookstand. It came crashing down and the books went all over the floor.
How clumsy(笨拙的)! Rachel thought as she went home on the bus. The bus stopped outside her house. She jumped up and her elbow (肘部) knocked a woman’s hat right over her eyes. Oh, no! Rachel said sorry, got off and ran indoors. Mum wasn’t in the kitchen but lay in bed as she caught an awful cold. Rachel offered to make a cup of tea but Mum would rather wait for Dad. Rachel sighed. She understood Mum was afraid she would spill (溅出) it.
“But would you go to Mrs. Willow for some cold medicine?” asked Mum. Rachel turned to the door at once. “But Rachel, Mrs. Willow’s house is full of beautiful things, so if she asks you to come in, you’d better say no.” Rachel sighed and ran out.
Mrs. Willow was an old lady with white hair and sharp blue eyes living in an old house. She opened the door and invited her in. Rachel said why she came and that she preferred to wait outside remembering her mother’s warning. Mrs. Willow insisted Rachel come inside. Rachel took a deep breath and stepped in. She looked round Mrs. Willow’s sitting room and saw at once why Mum had been worried.

California is dry. The sunny state is reeling from a four-year drought-a severe and unusual lack of rainfall. The effects of the drought can be seen most clearly in California's Sierra Nevada mountains. Much of the state's water supply comes from the deep snow that falls in these mountains. That snow melts in the spring and fills the state's rivers, lakes, and underground bodies of water. 1.
As a result, experts are now warning that California currently has only a one-year supply of usable water. Today we are standing on dry grass where there should be five feet of snow. 2.
That means people will have to limit their water use at home. They can do this by not watering lawns and reducing water they use for cleaning and cooking. 3.
Places like golf courses and cemeteries currently use a lot of water to keep lawns green. They'll need to find solutions for this problem that require less water.
California's water crisis has been mainly caused by a lack of rain and snowfall over the past few years. 4.Today, California is home to nearly 40 million people. This is double the number who lived there in 1960.
California simply has too many people for its natural resources. 5. Many have moved to the state because of its natural beauty and pleasant weather. And several major businesses are based in California, including Hollywood movie companies such as Warner Bros. and technology giants like Apple.
The drought is not likely to ruin California's businesses, but the state will have to rethink how it grows and does things.
A. But the snow hasn't been falling
B. Nature has prepared so much for people.
C. This serious drought needs immediate action.
D. Mother Nature didn't intend for so many people.
E. But another big problem is its growing population.
F. Some public places will need to make big changes.
G. There are many problems for this terrible drought.
