The boy felt sad when it rained and why? Because all the other children said so....and so it must be so. Everything became just pleasantly acceptable. He didn't know what he was drinking. Didn't know why he danced or bothered to understand perseverance. If things were hard, they didn't have to be. All he had to do was slink away like all the rest and be quiet. When his mind hummed with imagination he sat in a corner until it behaved. He didn't want to be the rain for everyone else. They couldn't appreciate what they saw so why should he?
