It rained, It rained all day. It rained all night. It rained and rained and would not stop. It rained for three days. The water was everywhere.

Close to the city, there was a fish pond. It was full of fish. The rain filled the pond with water. The water rose higher and higher. Then, the walls of the fish pond broke.

The water rushed out of the pond. The fish rushed out of the pond too. They spilled into the streets nearby. There was almost half a metre of water in the streets.

"Look! There are fish in the street!" a young girl exclaimed. "I can see them swimming right here in our street!"

Kids from the neighbourhood got their fishing poles. They put on their raincoats and their boots. They went out and started to fish.

"Hey!" shouted a boy. "I have a fish!" I caught a fish!" The fish were everywhere. Some kids caught fish. Others had fun trying to catch one. Parents came out to help them too. The street became busy and noisy. It was filled with laughter. Everyone was having a good time.

It stopped raining after a while. The owner of the fish pond fixed the hole. People heard on the radio where the fish had come from. They helped the owner collect the fish and put them back into the pond.

The street was just a normal street again.

But the children said:" We will never forget this day. The day we fished in the street! It was the best day ever!"
