The Rain Came Down

Once upon a sunny day, the sky clouded over, and the rain came down. The chickens squawked, the dog barked, the baby cried, the traffic snarled, the groceries fell, the people bickered, and still, the rain came down.

Rain or shine, here is an engaging story that will brighten the day of any reader.
