‘The Rain 4’ ©Mr Humble
The recess bells rang and we all waited for the fun.
Then Mr Orji told us: “now, what we are going to do is we are going to tell each other what we did during the rainstorm! we’ll begin in the front row and go right around! now, Michael, you’re first!. . .”
well, we all began to tell our stories, Michael began and it went on and on, and soon we realized that we were all lying, not exactly lying but mostly lying and some of the boys began to snicker and some of the girls began to give them dirty looks and Mr.Orji said, “all right! I demand a modicum of silence here! I am interested in what you did during the rainstorm even if you aren’t !” So we had to tell our stories and they were stories.
One girl said that when the rainbow first came she saw God’s face at the end of it. only she didn’t say which end. One boy said he stuck his fishing pole out the window and caught a little Fish and fed it to his cat.
Almost everybody told a lie.
The truth was just too awful and embarrassing to tell, then the bell rang and recess was over. “thank you,” said Mr. Orji , “that was very nice, and tomorrow the grounds will be dry and we will put them to use again.”
Most of the boys cheered and the little girls sat very straight and still, looking so pretty and clean and alert, their hair beautiful in a sunshine that the world might never see again.
End.
