It had been raining all day so that uncle remus found it impossible to go out. the storm had begun, the old man declared, just as the chickens were crowing for day, and it had continued almost without intermission. the dark gray clouds had blotted out the sun. the leafless limbs of the tall oaks surrendered themselves drearily to the fantastic gusts that drove the drizzle fitfully before them.

uncle remus made a great demonstration over the thoughtful kindness of his "miss sally."

Explanation:

Uncle Remus' mistress takes good care of him because she takes special care to make sure that he does not have to go out into the rainy and stormy weather to get his food.
