The Joyful Splash by Deborah Holt Williams(110 words)

 

Two yellow boots languished, lonely, at the back of the closet. Their world was dark and smelled like wet socks. The yellow boots yearned to play outside.  “Will we ever walk between the flowers again?” asked Lefty. “Remember how we stepped so carefully around worms on the sidewalk?” recalled Righty. At the same time, they asked, “Is there anything more fun than puddles?” and they sighed at the happy memory. Then one day, thunder shook the closet and rain danced on the roof. Small hands grabbed the yellow boots, and soon they were on feet and out the door, into a glorious spring shower. Then, with a joyful splash, into puddles. And even more fun than puddles? Puddles with friends!
