Roll along with the cloud as it brings rain and joy!
A cloud rolled along
merrily in the sky.
The peacock said,
“Why don’t you rain?
I will dance for you.”
The fish said, "Please rain.
I need more water."
The farmer said, “Please rain.
I’ll plant seeds for the next crop.”
Raju said,
“If you rain, I’ll sail paper boats.”
The cloud rained
in a shower of shimmering drops.
The peacock spread its pretty feathers
and danced.
The pond filled up.
The fish was happy.
The farmer started planting seeds.
Splish! Splash! Splosh!
Raju and his friends
had a wonderful time in the puddles.
The cloud filled
everybody's heart with joy.
It moved on.
All the children waved goodbye.
