A
When I finished shopping in Wal-Mart, it was raining heavily outside. Many people were standing at the door of Wal-Mart. I joined them and waited for the rain to stop.
As I stood there, I heard a little girl speak to her mother, “Mum, let’s run through the rain.”
“What?” her mother asked.
“Let’s run through the rain!” she repeated.
“No, Honey. That’s not a good idea. The rain is too heavy. We cannot run through it,” her mother said.
“But you said we could run through the rain this morning, Mum,” the little girl said as she pulled her mother’s arm.
“This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Dad about his cancer (癌症), you said, ‘If we can get through this, we can get through anything!’ ”
The girl’s mother kept silent for a moment. Then she said, “Honey, you are right. Let’s run through the rain.” Then they ran off.
Some people stood there watching and smiling as they ran through the rain. But others followed them, and I followed them too. We screamed and laughed all the way to our cars like children.
It was a precious moment in my life. And I hope you will take the time to run through the rain too, because the rain is just like the difficulties you meet in your daily life.
