You know how sometimes after rain, roads can become super slippery? That's because they're muddy! If you try to walk on them, your shoes might squelch with mud. In the countryside, farmers often have muddy fields after heavy rainfall. It's not fun to play in a muddy puddle, but it's also kind of cool when kids splash around in it.
