她和妈妈刚从沃尔玛购完物。她6岁,一头漂亮的棕色头发,一张长有雀斑的天真无邪的脸。天下着大雨,雨水充满檐槽,来不及排走,瞬间又溢向大地。
人们都站在沃尔玛门口的遮雨篷下等雨停,有人耐心,有人烦躁,老天给他们忙碌的一天添了乱。雨天总能勾起我的遐思。我出神地听着,看着老天将世间的污垢和尘埃冲走,儿时无忧无虑地奔跑在雨中的情景又浮现在我眼前,它缓解了我一天的忧虑。
一个小女孩甜美的声音打破了周围沉闷的气氛,“妈妈,我们在雨里跑吧。”她说。
“什么?”母亲问。
“我们在雨里跑吧。”她又说了一遍。
“不,亲爱的,等雨小了我们再走。”母亲说。
不一会儿,小女孩又说:“妈妈,我们跑出去吧。”
“那样我们会被淋湿的。”母亲说。
