The Bell Tolled For Cole
Cole hated rainy days. He looked out of his window. He watched the raindrops bounce off the ground. Through grey clouds, a beam of light touched his face. "Why are you hiding, Mr. Sun? Did you have a bad day today?" Mr. Sun frowned and hid his face. The clouds yelled at Cole. "Why do you only care about Mr. Sun? We are the ones who bathe the flowers!" Cole shook his head and pleaded with the clouds, "You always seem so unhappy! I didn't mean to make you sad!" The clouds cried while the wind whispered, "Why do you only care about the clouds and Mr. Sun? I am the one who dances with the leaves. I am the one who sings with the bells." Cole cuffed his ears with his hands. "I care about all of you! Can't everybody be happy?" he begged. The bells began to chime and yell at once, "WHY CAN'T YOU BE HAPPY?" The church bell tolled for Cole. In a sudden gasp, he jumped up from his slumber. He wandered over to the window. He smiled at the rain.
