Two ladybirds
are having a break on a leaf
as suddenly some raindrops fall.
According to their conversation
they don’t like that at all.
“Every time it rains
we become soaking wet.
If we kind of wanted that,
we would take a bath.”
“I prefer to see the sun
although I certainly know,
that rain is good for all the plants
and makes the flowers grow.”
“But I think they had enough
it looks no longer grey.
When the sun is out again,
we’ll be on our way.”
Rhyme 24
