🌳✨A Walk in the Rainy Garden
After school, I stepped into my garden while it was still drizzling. The whole place looked like a shiny painting. The leaves were coated in raindrops, sparkling like diamonds under the golden evening sun. The ground was soft and muddy, and with every step, my shoes made a funny squish-squash sound.
A sweet, earthy smell filled the air – the kind that only comes after rain. It made me feel calm and happy. The flowers—roses, marigolds, and lilies—looked brighter than ever, as if they had just taken a bath. A butterfly flapped its wings slowly, trying to dry itself. Tiny ants marched in a line, avoiding the puddles like clever little soldiers.
I stretched my hand out and felt the soft, cool touch of a wet leaf. A droplet fell on my nose, and I giggled. The breeze whispered through the trees, making them dance gently. Birds chirped from somewhere far away, their voices sounding clear and cheerful in the clean air.
In the corner, I saw a puddle big enough to jump in. I leapt into it with both feet. Splash! Water flew everywhere, and I laughed out loud. My clothes were wet, but I didn’t mind. I felt fresh, free, and full of joy.
That rainy walk in the garden was more than just a walk—it was like walking through a fairy tale. Every little thing, from the smell of the soil to the tickle of the raindrops, felt magical. I will always remember that rainy evening as one of the most peaceful and beautiful moments I ever had.
