Sara and Ben wanted to decorate a bowl for their mom. They found a big bowl in the kitchen and some paint and brushes. They took the bowl and the paint to the backyard and put them on a table.
"Let's make the bowl pretty with colors," Sara said.
"OK, I will paint a flower," Ben said.
They started to paint the bowl with different colors. Sara painted a red heart and Ben painted a yellow flower. They were having fun.
But then, it started to rain. The rain was wet and cold. It made the paint run and drip. The bowl looked messy and ugly.
"Oh no, the rain ruined our bowl!" Sara cried.
"Mom will not like it," Ben said.
They ran inside the house with the bowl. They were sad and wet.
They showed the bowl to their mom. They said they were sorry.
But mom smiled and hugged them. She said she loved the bowl and them.
"It's a beautiful bowl," she said. "You made it with love and creativity. The rain made it special. It's like a rainbow bowl."
Sara and Ben felt happy. They gave mom a kiss and thanked her. They learned that sometimes, things can be good even when they seem bad.
