As I was walking in the rain with my umbrella, I saw a magpie dancing on the fence. The tiny droplets of the rain were pleasing him. I stood behind him for watching his masterpiece. I thought to not go in front of him, for I was scared if he would fly by looking at me. But I transmuted my mind, and I dared to go before him. He fell down from the fence loosing the balance by looking at me suddenly. Surprisingly, he didn't fly away by looking at me. And he asked me who I was. I replied I was a lonely wanderer who was depressed. He asked me why I was depressed. I replied I was lonely and no one was there to give me company. He said that I shouldn't feel depressed, for the rain was with me which would give me the soothing music to listen, the fresh air was with me to energize me, the trees were with me which would listen to my stories for ages without interrupting me. He added that I wasn't lonely, for the entire nature was with me to accompany me. I realized that I committed a mistake in thinking that I was alone even though I had many friends who were genuine to me. Finally, I asked him why he was dancing in the rain. He replied that rain was his confidant, for he used to share his inner thoughts to rain. He also said that he was too feeling lonely like me, so he thought to spend his time with the nature by dancing as it was his favourite hobby. Suddenly, a thunder struck the ground. It was dusky. So he said to me he was getting late to go home as he would forget the direction of his home. I bid him goodbye. Eventually, He flew away by soaring in the sky.
