The sound of your laughter is going to change my world forever. That day I walked outside and a drop of rain landed on my shoulder, knocking me down. I slipped and fell into a plastic bucket that you had put by your window to catch the rain. I floated there for a while. I pretended to enjoy the scenery. Pretty soon you walked by- you looked at me swimming around in your bucket and acted as if you were surprised to see me. Surprised? I called out to you and I laughed. You began to ask if you could help me out but I interrupted with a brilliant display of my free-style form. Around and around the bucket, I churned that water like a tai chi master and water got everywhere. You cried out for me to stop and I cried out for you to join me. But this isn’t chess, you said aloud and you went back inside to change out of your wet clothes. I stopped what I was doing but I pretended not to notice until I noticed that I was drowning. I started splashing around in that bucket again but you couldn’t hear me because you were laughing at something-that’s okay. I’m sorry that I got us both wet.
