A Rainy Day

Yesterday, it was raining and thundering all day. Sarah was playing video
games inside the house, but she wanted to be outside. She wasn't playing
basketball because the yard was wet. She was feeling tired and bored of
being in her house.

Sarah was trying to be busy inside the house. She was reading her science
fiction book until the electricity went out. Then, she decided to practice her
drawing. She was drawing some cartoons until lunchtime. After lunch, she
sat by the window and watched the rain.

While Sarah was watching the rain, the phone rang. Her mother was calling
to say she was coming home and she was bringing a new board game. As
son as she got there, they ate ice cream and popcorn and played the new
game.

In the evening, while they were playing, the rain stopped! But Sarah didn't
notice it. She was having such a good time with her mom!
