It was a very pleasant evening. The children were playing outside on the road. A few hours later the clouds turned dark. After my studies I came to the living room and looked out of the window. The clouds were dark, and I watched the kids play. Suddenly it started to thunder and it rained heavily.
I went into the living room and sat on the sofa and wondered about the battle between the clouds. When it thundered, I thought the clouds were wrestling. When it was lightning, I thought the clouds had come into a dark room and turned on their flashlights on and off repeatedly. When it was raining, I thought the clouds were crying. My Mum asked me, “What are you wondering about? I told her my thoughts were on the rain today. My Mum replied, “You have a good imagination.”
