Dancing in the Rain

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She loved to dance and would twirl around the house all day long. But when it rained, Lily felt sad because she couldn't go outside and dance. One day, as Lily sat by the window watching the raindrops fall, she had an idea. She put on her raincoat, grabbed her umbrella, and headed outside.

Outside, Lily felt the raindrops falling on her umbrella. She started swaying back and forth, pretending she was a tree dancing in the wind. Then, she took off her shoes and began jumping in the puddles, splashing water everywhere. Lily's dance in the rain made her feel so happy and free.

Suddenly, Lily heard a giggle. She turned around to see her friend, Jack, watching her with a big smile on his face. He asked if he could join her. Lily happily agreed, and together they danced and twirled in the rain. They laughed and splashed, not caring that they were getting wet. The rain made their dance even more special.

As Lily and Jack danced, they noticed more children coming outside. They were all wearing raincoats and holding colorful umbrellas. Lily's dance had inspired them. The children formed a big circle and danced together, creating a joyful and vibrant dance party in the rain. The sound of laughter filled the air.

After dancing for what felt like hours, the rain started to slow down. The children hugged each other and said goodbye, promising to dance again next time it rained. Lily went back home, feeling grateful for the rain and the joy it had brought. From that day on, whenever it rained, Lily would put on her raincoat and dance in the rain, knowing that it would always make her happy.
