Nostalgia 1: Running freely in the rain!

   

     
      This definitely top my list!

     Even when I recall it now, I simply couldn't hold the smiles on my face!

     Being an active kid living in a tropical country, nothing beats running freely in the rain, enjoying a cold shower from the sky, without worrying of falling sick!

     The adults called us 旱鸭子 in Chinese, which carry the meaning of landlubbers, in their eyes, we look like the wild kids who have never seen the rains in our lives. The feeling of rain water rolling down our body, kicking a few splashes of mud water with our feet......simply amazing!

     Sometimes, we got scolded badly or even grounded by our parents when we returned home like a drowned rat! But, we normally played dumb to all the nagging, and sneak out to play in the rain whenever there is a chance!

     "Hey look, there is a little crab here!" a friend of mine shouted while pointing her finger to a pool of rain water in the field.

     "Hey come, there is a little crab in the rain water!" another kid shouted in excitement, attracting more kids running towards the same direction.

     Everyone circling the pool of water with the little crab in it, all the faces looked excited, like they have discovered a new world!

     "Come, let me pick it up!" a young brave boy reached out his hand to the little crab.

     Then, he swing the poor little crab towards the girls! 

     "Ahhh........!!" the girls screamed and ran.

     "Ha ha ha...!!" naughty laughs donned the boy's face.

     And we didn't even know where that poor little crab came from, guess it was our lucky day, and a bad day for the little crab!

     Running in the rain used to be one of the most favourable activities of mine during my childhood, and I have tonnes of sweet memories of it!


     Have you ever run in the rain when you were a kid?

     Perhaps, when it rains next time, I should keep my umbrella and enjoying the great feeling of showering in the rain again! :)
