Rain and Carnival

Once upon a time there was a people who loved
To celebrate Carnival and give joy to everyone.
They warmed their neighbors with their sincerity
And they lived happily in a happy country.

When there was some kind of Carnival again,
The wind blew hard and it started to Rain.
Hurricane hit the city with all its might,
And Carnival was unfortunately interrupted.

People fled to their homes and shelters,
To hide from Rain and strong wind.
In shelters they could not forget about Carnival,
And everyone was waiting for Rain to end.

Finally, after long hours of waiting,
Rain ended, winds subsided,
People went out of their houses to streets
To continue Carnival again.

And so people sing and dance merrily,
Under bright blue sky, full of lights,
And they understand, that life is like Rain,
Sometimes it brings sadness and trouble.

But people remember that joy and love
Stronger than anything in life.
So they always celebrate Carnival,
And Rain will not be able to stop them.
Nothing can stop the cheerful people,
Except for humble writer of fables, of course.
