Once upon a time, there was a summer day that was perfect for playing with a ball in the garden. But, just as the fun was beginning, the sky turned grey and it started to rain. The kids were disappointed because they couldn't play outside anymore. Suddenly, a bright idea hit them - they could play with the ball in their swimsuits!

So, they put on their swimsuits, grabbed their ball and ran into the rain. They splashed in the puddles, laughed and had so much fun that they didn't even notice the rain had stopped. When they looked up, the sun was shining and the flowers in the garden were smiling at them.

The kids felt like they were at the beach, even though they were still in the garden. They continued to play with the ball and soak up the sunshine. They felt so happy and carefree that they knew that this was going to be the best summer ever!

The end.
