This text is an excerpt from a science fiction which gives us an imaginary account of life on the planet Venus. It touchingly narrates the keen expectations of the children of Venus who eagerly wait for the sun to appear after seven years, but only for an hour. The deviation of the text from what we know as scientific fact only adds to the imaginative element of the tale.

The children gathered slowly to look at her opened palm.

In the centre of it was a single large raindrop.

The girl began to cry, looking at it.

The children glanced quickly at the sky.

A few cold drops fell on their noses and their cheeks and their mouths.

The sun faded behind a cloud of mist.

A cool wind blew around them.

They turned and slowly walked towards their underground houses.

Their smiles had vanished.

A boom of thunder startled them.

āĻŦāϜ্āϰেāϰ āĻ—āϰ্āϜāύ āϤাāĻĻেāϰ āϚāĻŽāĻ•ে āĻĻিāϞ।

They tumbled upon each other and ran. “Oh, oh”.

Lightning struck all around them.

The sky darkened into midnight in a flash.

The children stood at the doorway to the underground houses until it was raining hard.

Then they closed the doors and heard the gigantic sound of the rain falling everywhere.

“Will it be seven more years before the sun comes out again?”

“Yes.” 

“āĻš্āϝাঁ.”

With pale faces they looked out of the window at the world that was raining now, raining and raining steadily.
