“Hey! It’s raining fish!” Avanti shouted.

Ballu looked around with wonder. Then he picked up a huge basket and ran around, collecting fish as they fell from the sky. Every time the basket filled, he dropped the fish in a little pond and ran back for more.

Then, as he was rushing for the tenth time to the pond, he turned back. The water level had risen and he could see that Avanti was scared.

Ballu came back quickly, picked Avanti up and placed her on his shoulders. Avanti put her arms around Ballu’s neck and thanked him. Soon the clouds came out and the sun came out, it was bright and cheerful once again.

“I will never again ask you to blow the candles out,” said Avanti.

“Why?” asked Ballu.

“Who knows? Next time it might start raining frogs,” Avanti said and the two friends started laughing.
