Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day,
Little children want to play,
Rain, rain, go away!
Rain falls from the dark clouds in the sky. When it rains, the roads get wet and muddy. Children cannot go out to play. They feel sad when they are stuck inside. They look out of the window and wish the rain would stop. Children love to run, jump and play outside with their friends. They want the rain to go away so they can have fun. But rain is also very useful. It waters the plants and fills the rivers. After the rain, the earth smells fresh and flowers bloom.
