Bing Xin's After the Rain

After the Rain, Bing Xin

The green treetops are shining with golden light,

The square has become an ocean!

A group of barefoot children in the water are

as happy as gods.

My little brother stepped on the water hard,

How high did the water flowers splash?

He shouted, "Sister, be careful, slip!"

when he said that, he slipped!

He patted his muddy pants, and

he said, "Oops-oops!"

But his red and happy face,

radiates excitement and pride.

My little sister pursed two stubby pigtails, and

followed the muddy pants closely.

She bit her lip,

lifted her skirt,

ran lightly and carefully,

but in her heart, she wished she

had such a good fall!
