Rainwater

A rain barrel near the house
While the rain is pouring
The rain barrel catches raindrops
Filling the barrel up to the top

Rainwater is useful
It is good for gardens
Used to wash the plants
While refreshing them

Rainwater makes small pools
The birds bath in puddles
They also drink the water
Rainwater is not wasted
