THE MIRACULOUS RAIN

In the south of Vietnam, a year has only two seasons: rainy season, and dry season. Dry season is severe weather conditions. It’s hot all days so most people are slack to work or learn. Whenever we must go out, the intense sunlight makes us sweat too much, and feel more tired. It seems that soil are barren, trees are shrivel and wrinkle. Everybody as well as everything expect rain. Fortunately, a wish is coming. The weather forecaster says that: “this afternoon, the southeast area has a heavy shower. It’s the first rain in this year.” So, I’m eager to stand in fond of the window to wait the shower.
About 4 P.M the wind is gentle. It blows through my hair, and touch in my cheeks looks like the fondling, and the kiss of my mother. Suddenly, the black clouds move to towards. I know the rain is coming. The sky turn from bright, and blue to dark. darker the sky is, the stronger the wind is. Trees turn from side to side look like crow because of happiness. People hurry off to come home as soon as possible. Others prepare raincoat. My neighbors close the doors to prevent dust, and strong wind. The street is dense and crowed become empty, and quiet.
And the minute I always expect is come true. It’s raining. The rain is falling pitter-patter on the roofs. I put my hands outside the window to get the first raindrop. The trees swing following the wind look like the angles are dancing in the heaven. Raindrops are more and more, so now there is full of water in the street. Some people seek shelter from the rain. After that, the rain has abated, and children rush to outside to take a bath. They play games. Their faces are happy, and interested. Some of them fold the paper to make ship, and drifts the ships on the street. However, their parents force them to come back their home because it rains too heavily. The stream of water which flows in the street looks like the roll of the sea. Lightning, and thunder appear. It rains continually. After two hours, the rain has ceased.
The first rain brings to us cheery, and joy. People and all things are coming alive. Drops of rain make field fertility, makes trees luxuriant. Therefore, rain is an invaluable present, which nature gives for human beings .
