Sunday was a terrible day for me. I wanted to go out but it was raining outside. I wanted to play with my brother but he was doing his Geography homework. My parents were watching TV. Then, I decided to sit by the window and watch the street. Some people were standing at the bus stop.

Воскресенье было для меня ужасным днём. Я хотел выйти погулять, но на улице шёл дождь. Я хотел поиграть с братом, но он делал домашнее задание по географии. Мои родители смотрели телевизор. Затем я решил сесть у окна и посмотреть на улицу. Несколько человек стояли на автобусной остановке.

Suddenly the sun appeared in the sky. It was shining while it was raining!

Вдруг на небе появилось солнце. Оно светило, пока шёл дождь!
