听力原文: A small girl and his mother were having a walk in the country when it suddenly began to rain very hard. They did not have their umbrellas with them, and there was nowhere to hide from the rain, so they were soon very wet, and the small girl did not feel very happy.

Where were the small girl and her mother having a walk?
