1Mark woke up early because it was his tenth birthday.
2He looked out the window and saw dark grey clouds.
3His family had planned a big picnic in the park.
4Soon, heavy rain started to fall on the empty streets.
5Mark sat by the window and felt really disappointed.
6His mother told him not to lose hope so quickly.
7At noon, the doorbell rang three times in a row.
8All of his friends stood outside in the pouring rain.
9They carried boxes of pizza, games, and a chocolate cake.
10Everyone was wet, but they were laughing very loudly.
11The friends moved the furniture and made a picnic indoors.
12They sat on blankets right in the middle of the living room.
13Mark's father played funny songs on his old guitar.
14They played card games until the evening came slowly.
15The rain outside sounded like music during their small party.
16Mark blew out ten candles and made a secret wish.
17His best friend said this was the funniest picnic ever.
18Mark agreed that rain could not ruin a real friendship.
19Before leaving, everyone promised to come back next year.
20That night, Mark wrote about the day in his diary.
