There was rain. As a child, he was small, blind, and often came on sunny summer days or in early spring. The rain was looking forward to this moment, it seemed to him that everyone was happy for him and everyone loved him. He cheerfully jumped on the sidewalks, tried to drum loudly on the glass and easily rolled down from the leaves of the trees.
He liked to look at people and guess their mood. From an excess of happiness and fun, he tried to hug every passerby. Gradually, the rain grew up and turned into.
Now he did not come to people alone, he was accompanied by peals of thunder, lightning, he walked for a longer time, sometimes for several hours in a row, especially on autumn days. But he still enjoyed watching people and flirting with them.
Over time, the rain felt that something was wrong, something had changed, but he could not understand what was the matter. Then he tried to be more observant, intently examining the streets, houses, human faces.
He was amazed that bright posters, buildings of different colors and bizarre shapes, cheerful music bursting from the speakers, for some reason do not give rise to any joyful notes in his soul, and sometimes even frighten him. Passers-by looked kind of twitchy.
Here a girl walks with a hurried step, she is beautiful and the rain every now and then tries to take her by the hand, stroke her hair. She is in a hurry, but suddenly stops, abruptly opens her bag, rummages through it, finds a phone, starts talking. With her interlocutor, she speaks loudly, quickly, with some kind of irritation, at the same time trying to jump over puddles and straighten her hair.
Most likely, she is late, perhaps for a date, and then there is such a nuisance, she does not have an umbrella, she gets wet, the water completely spoils her hair, and the dirt ruins her shoes and tights. Of course, she really doesn’t like it, the rain thought, but this is life ...
Cars were coming and going on the road at that time. Rain noticed the driver explaining something to his passenger, waved to the road, honked. The passenger, a young boy, was clutching a tiny computer in his hands and what was happening on the monitor was much more fascinated by him.
The rain felt sad, he knocked on the window more insistently, throwing a scattering of drops on the glass, but the driver cursed and grumbled that now he would have to go to the car wash and spend money on it. And what's so bad about that, the rain asked himself.
Then he hurried to his grandmother, she walked slowly, but, apparently, the walk was not easy for her. The rain wanted her to smile, and began to write out large and small bulbs in the puddles.
But the old woman did not notice this, it was more important for her now to get to the pharmacy as quickly as possible and return to her tiny apartment before her coat and boots got wet. Even the cat hurried to hide from him, darting into the basement.
The rain was completely upset, drummed with all his might, rattled, rang, but did not touch anyone. And then he finally understood what was the matter: people are not at all happy with him and consider him an annoying hindrance to their plans, which did not seem so important to the rain.
In desperation, the rain wandered into a small courtyard, where he saw a child, very small, near the house. Sitting comfortably in his mother's arms, the baby was fascinated, almost without blinking, with a half-open mouth, looked at the sky, watching how it rained and the wind stirred the leaves, how water ran into puddles and blackened the asphalt.
By the amount of surprise and delight in his eyes, the rain guessed: the baby sees him for the first time and is very happy with him! And the rain wanted to sing, dance, laugh and smile, and for some reason it seemed to him that the little man understood him very well.
High in the sky, on a black cloud, lived the family of Rains: Papa Downpour, Mother Woodlouse drizzling, Son Mushroom Rain and Daughter Drop. They lived together. They monitored the cleanliness on the ground: they washed off dust from the roads, washed the roofs of houses; washed leaves of trees, herbs and flowers; puddles, lakes, rivers were filled with water so that animals could wash. Rainwater is clean and soft, which is why all plants and animals love it. The Rains will wash everything and everyone, hang their legs from the clouds and admire the beauty from above.
“How much use I have,” Papa Downpour says, “as soon as I spill it, I immediately wash off all the dirt.” People say that "it pours like a bucket." It's about me! Wash it, wash it! I don't care about water.
“And I’m slowly washing off the dust,” Mum Mokritsa, drizzling, enters into the conversation. - Drizzling is not pouring. As soon as I start drumming on the dust with many small droplets, the dust is over! I love cleanliness and order, and most of all - clean air!
“And after you I put on some shine,” the son of Mushroom Rain agrees. “Once again I so refresh everything around that a radiance comes from the earth under the sun!
“Yes, and I don’t stand aside,” Droplet’s daughter squeaked, “I’ll hang on the leaves, and the insects look at me like in a mirror, wash themselves, preen themselves. I also benefit.
The Rains did not forget to saturate the earth with moisture so that the plants would delight everyone with their fresh greenery, flowers, and fruits. Gardens, gardens, flower beds, forests, fields, meadows will be watered and rejoice that everything is growing and blooming.
“Look, look,” shouts the son of Mushroom Rain, “meadow flowers bloomed under my rainbow!” It was I who poured the magic water on them. What a beautiful carpet!
— Phew! Papa Downpour can't catch his breath. - He spilled the earth so that for a whole week there would be enough water for all the plants. Tired even. But gardeners and gardeners will not need to water the plants. They are happy to help me!
“And I’m pouring everything, I’m pouring in small droplets,” sighs the mother Woodlice, drizzling, “I won’t get the earth wet.” But my leaves have enough moisture.
“Yes, even without me it’s bad in a drought,” Droplet’s daughter does not let up. - People call me that, they say: “Well, if only a drop would drip!” I have such importance!
But sometimes, when Papa Downpour was angry or in a bad mood, he poured so much water on the ground that it flooded roads and sidewalks, fields and forests. Rivers overflowed their banks, flooding villages and villages. People then were very upset and asked Heaven to stop the rain. Plants began to die from excess water. On such days, all members of the Rainy family walked on tiptoe, not daring to speak to their father. And only little Droplet, whom her father loved very much, was not afraid to climb on his knees, cuddle tightly and ask him to sing a lullaby. At such moments, Papa Downpour became kind and stopped pouring water on the ground. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The sun came out and dried up the excess water.
It was worse when mother Mokritsa, drizzling, began to cry from resentment. She cried so long and so profusely that the tedious rain spoiled everyone's mood.
Summer became cold, which greatly upset people and all living things. Then people turned to the Sun, called him, so that it would soon peek out from behind the clouds and warm the earth. And the son Mushroom rain began to calm my mother. He scattered a seven-colored rainbow across the sky and invited her to choose the material for a dress of any color. Then he called to himself a lot of birds, who instantly sewed an unusual dress for his mother. The drizzling woodlouse immediately stopped crying and began to try on a new dress.
So they lived together in the sky Rains, worked, rejoiced, sometimes grieved. Everything is like in every family.

Rain
There was rain. Shaggy, long-haired rain. When he got angry, cold strands of his wet hair whipped people's faces. When the rain was in a good mood, his soft hair caressed your cheeks. And yet the rain was shaggy. And he got tired of it...
“I’ll cut my hair,” decided the rain. Went to the hairdresser. The month-sickle cut off the hair of the rain.
While the rain was running towards the month, nothing good happened. Vice versa. The leaves on the trees have faded and withered. The flowers in the flower beds have fallen, wither. People walk gray, dusty, lethargic. People dry up.
The rain was pissed off.
“Now,” he says, “I’ll quickly water you all, it will become easier for you!” Live right away.
The rain is in a hurry, loosened his hair-streams, watered.
- Come on! people shout.
“It’s hot…” the flowers are crying.
“Dry,” the leaves rustle.
- Yes you? Doesn't understand rain. - I'm watering.
Short hair-streams beat, but they do not even reach the roof of the highest houses.
Dry, everything is dry on earth. Flowers crumble into dust, almost dead leaves rustle, people who have lost their faith are silent.
It was only then that the rain realized what it had done. I realized that while the jets grow, flowers, leaves, people will die ...
“Stupid me, carefree me,” cried the rain. Wept, wept, wept... And his tears fell to the ground. A stream of tears.
And the flowers rose - came to life! And the leaves rustled merrily - came to life! And people sighed easily - came to life!

GRAY TALE
One day everything was filled with gray.
It was raining, there were puddles and mud everywhere. It was impossible to go outside, or to visit, or go. And the animals in the forest felt bad from such weather. No one knew what to do, as even the power was turned off, because soon a real storm began. The downpour poured, lightning darted across the gray sky, thunder rumbled, hail drummed.
But then suddenly the sun came out and the gray paint disappeared. The world is dyed a golden yellow. Only a small warm mushroom rain dripped, and a bright rainbow shone in the sky.Maria Stepanova(grade 2, St. Petersburg)

When I returned home, the whole city was covered with golden yellow autumn colors!
