Lectura corta en inglés

Rainy day connection

It was a rainy day in both the city and the countryside. Dark clouds covered the sky, and everything looked gray. In the city, people hurried along the wet streets, using umbrellas and seeking shelter from the rain.

In the city, there was an artist named Leah. She wanted to find inspiration for her painting. Carrying her paints and canvas, she walked in the rain. The sound of raindrops falling on the streets was peaceful.

In the countryside, a farmer named Thomas eagerly waited for the rain. The dry soil needed water, and the rain would help his crops grow. When the rain fell, it made the plants happy and brought life to the fields.

Leah found a cozy coffee shop in the city where she could take a break from the rain. She sat inside, enjoyed a warm drink, and watched the raindrops falling outside. The rain made the streets look shiny, and she thought it was beautiful.

In the countryside, Thomas stood in his fields, watching the rainwater falling on his crops. He smiled because the rain would help them grow. The raindrops made the leaves look shiny, and he felt grateful for the much-needed water.

Leah went back to her studio in the city, feeling inspired by what she had seen. She started painting on her canvas, trying to capture the feeling of a rainy day in the city. With each brushstroke, she added colors and shapes to her painting.

Meanwhile, in the countryside, Thomas continued his work, taking care of his crops with hope. He knew the rain was important for their growth, just like inspiration was important for Leah’s art. Even though their lives were different, they both relied on the rain for renewal and growth.

So, on that rainy day, the city and the countryside were connected. The rain connected Leah and Thomas, who were both inspired by its beauty. It reminded them that even on a rainy day, there is something special to appreciate.
