Ria loved running. She practiced every day for the School Fun Race, hoping to win a shiny blue ribbon.
On the day of the race, dark clouds covered the sky.
“Uh-oh… it’s going to rain,” Ria whispered.
Soon, tiny raindrops began to fall.
Some kids groaned,
“This is the worst! We’ll slip!”
“I can’t run in this weather!”
Ria also felt nervous.
What if she fell?
What if she couldn’t run fast?
Just then, her mother leaned down and said,
“Remember, Ria… a positive thought is like sunshine inside you. Try saying, ‘I can do it.’”
Ria took a deep breath and repeated softly,
“I can do it… I can do it.”
When the whistle blew, she started running.
The ground was wet, the drops splashed on her cheeks—
but she kept smiling, thinking,
“This rain is cooling me… I can run better… I can do it!”
Step by step, she ran faster.
She didn’t slip.
She didn’t stop.
Ria crossed the finish line—second place!
She jumped happily.
“I did it! My sunny thought helped me win!”
Her mother hugged her.
“See? Positive thinking makes even rainy days bright.”
