The Girl Who Spoke to Rain

Emma hates rain because she always stays silent when it rains. One day, she is walking alone. The rain starts falling and says gently: "Don't be afraid to speak, Emma." Emma stops. "Rain... you can talk?" The rain answers: "Yes. And you can too. Just say one word." Emma takes a deep breath and says: "Hello, rain." The rain laughs softly: "See? It was easy." From that day, every time it rains, Emma practices English out loud. She is no longer afraid.
