Once upon a time, in a small house, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim loved to play outside. One day, the sun was shining and it was very hot. Tim's mom said, "It will be cool soon, so have fun now."
Tim played with his ball and his dog, Spot. They ran and jumped and had lots of fun. But then, the sky turned dark. Tim felt a cool wind on his face. He knew something was coming.
The first drop of rain fell on Tim's nose. Then, more rain came down. Tim and Spot ran back to the house. They could hear the thunder far away. Tim started to tremble because he was scared of the loud noise.
Inside the house, Tim's mom hugged him tight. She knew he was scared. "Don't worry, Tim," she said. "The thunder is just the clouds saying hello."
Tim felt better. He and Spot sat by the window and watched the rain. The thunder was not so scary anymore. Tim knew that after the cool rain, the sun would come out again, and they could play outside once more.
