Ruby writes about "protection from the rain".

Which of the following items might she take with her tonight to protect her from the rain?

There may be more than one correct answer!

a tuxedo

Umm, it's not such a good idea to wear a tuxedo in the rain. A tuxedo is a fancy suit for men, generally worn at weddings and other formal events.

an umbrella

It's always smart to take an umbrella with you when it rains. An umbrella is a sort of cane with a canopy attached which protects from the rain and pigeon droppings.

a rainbow

If only one could wear a rainbow. Alas, it is impossible...unless you wear a shirt with a rainbow on it. A "rainbow" is an arc of spectral colors which appears in the sky as result of refracted light in drops of rain.

a reindeer

Good guess, but a "reindeer" is an animal also known as a caribou. These beautiful creatures are distinctive for their antlers (types of horns which emerge from the head) which are present both in males AND females. Fantastic! To learn more about the reindeer contact your local caribou farm or contact Santa Claus directly by fax at the North Pole.

a rain cane

No such thing. Good try, though.

a slicker

A "slicker" is a raincoat, generally made of a glossy material such as plastic or rubber to repel the rain. This is a good thing to wear in the rain.
