ABC Rain?


There was once a little girl named Jamie who didn't know her ABC's. She tried and tried but she never got it right. Everytime she did get it right she would always forget it the next day. One night she was tucked up in her bed crying because she didn't know her ABC's. She wished that she could learn her ABC's as quick as rain falls from the sky. Her eyes grew heavy, and after a few miniutes she was fast asleep. The next morning when she woke up it was raining. She squinted her eyes at the window. Somthing was weird about the rain. As she got closer, the raindrops looked more and more like A's. Why was it raining A's? Then it struck her. She had wished for herself to learn the ABC's as quick as rain fell from the sky.When she went to school she asked her friends ''Did you see raindrops in the shape of A's falling from the sky?'' But all they said was ''No!'' Jamie was confused.The next morning it was raining again. Again she squinted her eyes at the window. The raindrops didn't look like A's but instead they looked more like B's. When she went to school she asked her friends the same question. ''Did you see raindrops in the shape of B's?'' ''No!,'' they said. Again, Jamie was confused. When she went home she thought How did I see raindrops in the shape of letters when my friends didn't? For the next few days it rained the letters of the ABC's in order. By the time the letter Z in the alphabet was done, Jamie had memorized the whole alphabet. When she went home from school the next day she had a note from her teacher saying that Jamie was the better at her ABC's than anyone else in her class. Jamie ran in the house shouting ''Look what the teacher gave to me!'' When her mom read the note she hugged Jamie and told her ''I knew you would learn some day.''
