It is Sunday morning and it is raining. The sky is grey and the rain is heavy. I cannot play outside today. At first, I am a little sad.
But then I have an idea. I stay inside and I read my new book. It is a story about a brave boy and a dragon. The story is very exciting. My mother makes hot soup and warm bread. The house smells wonderful.
In the afternoon, my brother and I play a board game. We laugh a lot. Outside, the rain does not stop, but inside, we are warm and happy. A rainy day can be a good day too.
