Walking in the Rain

‘Tick…tack….tick….tack….’ The sky turned from sky-blue to grey. Soon it began to sprinkle. ‘One drop….two drops….’ I counted the droplets down to my hands. The sudden rain made me feel cool but it seemed that citizens could not compassionate the kindness given by the nature. They all rushed to go back home. As a result, they didn’t notice how beautiful the nature was! There were millions of catkin falling and scattered from the pale sky. Some fell to the north, some fell to the south. They all had different destinations. However, no one would be like me to stop and discover the beauty of the nature. They were too busy! What a pity. How amazing the creator was!

Although it was the morning of the day, the colour of the sky was as dark as at night. The sun hid behind the clouds, what a shy sun! ‘Tick….tack….tick….tack….’ The harmony melody made by the rain, the melody made by the nature! Christmas is coming soon, rain, would you like to join the choir? The droplets hit the rock on the ground rhythmically. Their pleasant voice would not be inferior to any living things in the world! Rain, please don’t feel sad. Even though the passers-by did not admire your sweet soundings, I will always be your loyal fan.

More and more droplets joined the choir. It was not harmonious romanza anymore. It changed to another movement, a passionate sinfonia. No conductor, no rehearsal, it even didn’t have the music sheet but they created the most amazing melody I have ever heard, the music created by the nature! However, on the other hand, this was totally a bad news to they busy Hong Kong people. It was not great music. Instead, it was the evil’s tone to force them escape from the messy world.

How heavy the rain was? They lined up in a long long queue and rushed into a drain in a very high speed. Besides, all the roads turned to thousands of narrow rivers which flew continuously. The rain poured steadily down. Some people ran across to road to catch up the buses but their clothes all got wet. Some of them grumbled about the inaccurate weather report made by the Hong Kong Observatory. The roads were blocked by tens of the thousands vehicles. This caused serious traffic congestion. The flood water level was as high as my feet! It was so difficult for me to walk step by step. Naughty rain, please don’t play tricks on us anymore! Look! You had turned everything into a messy world.

In another side, I saw a homeless old man shivering because of the low temperature caused by the rain. But no one was willing to help him because all of tem just wanted to escape from the messy world as soon as possible. Poor man, good luck!

Suddenly, I saw a bright light shining. After a few seconds, I heard a very loud noise. Giant thunder, please don’t step from hill to hill. Every living creature was woken by you. Calm down! You can take a rest first. Please don’t bluff us anymore. For instance, I heard a little girl crying and yelling to her mother. The rain continued and seemed non-stop. There was still a logn logn queue at the bus stop. The traffic congestion was getting more serious. Rain, a surprise made by the nature. You were a terrible trouble maker! Please stop playing tricks on us, naughty rain!

Half an hour later, the members of the choir left quietly one by one. The sky was not grey anymore. The sun didn’t play ‘hid and seek’ with us anymore. Everything in the city seemed to be remade by the rain. The air was so fresh that it made us feel relaxed. Sometimes, rain was a big gift from the nature; sometimes, it was a monster turning everything in a messy world; sometimes it was a great architect who produced a water world! Rain, which role are you playing now?
