One Rainy Day…
Once upon a time in Jefferson, Wisconsin in the year of 1824 there was a very bad rain storm. It rained for 32 days. By the end of the rain storm everyone was outside playing in the puddles with their rain boots on, having the time of their life.
This particular day was in the middle of the 32 days. In fact it was day 10. Everyone decided to meet in the town square to dance in the streets. This day was the coldest of them all. A lot of the people were angry because their favorite baseball team was not able to play their last 3 games.
Everyone who gathered on the square that day happened to be strangers. Jefferson was a big town so it was really hard to know everyone. However, when Johnnie was about ready to leave his friend Rose stopped to join in. She convinced him to stay and dance the night away.
When they were done dancing in the rain their skin was like shriveled up prunes. However, it was rather calming to listen to the sound of the rain hitting the buildings.
They could hear Justin Beiber singing on the radio and the Spiderman Theme song also was played. They could hear feet dancing and store doors creaking. Also, they could hear everyone laughing and having a good time.
Subway was even having deals on the subs. You could smell them all the way down Hwy 18. You could also smell the Mexican restaurant and the Purina doog food plant.
Soon the rain began to come down harder and it started to lightening and thunder. Everyone cleared the streets and went home. They dried off and watched their favorite movies all night long.
Everyone who attended the dance party in the square went home and a great mood and had a wonderful weekend.
