A Rainy Adventure

Once upon a time, in a little village, the rain fell and fell! The rivers began to swell, and soon, the village was covered in water.

But don’t worry! The animals and people worked together. The ducks quacked happily, swimming around, while the children built boats from big leaves.

They floated and played, splashing in the water. Everyone helped each other, sharing food and stories.

When the sun came out, the water slowly went away, and the village was safe again. They learned that even in tough times, friendship and teamwork can make everything better!
