The day I got my first rain boots, it didn't rain. 我拿到人生第一双雨靴的那天，根本没下雨。

I wore them anyway, around the house, for two days. 但我不管，穿着它在屋里晃悠了两天。

They were yellow, and a little too big. 靴子是黄色的，稍微有点偏大。

On the third day, it finally rained. 到了第三天，终于下雨了。

My mother said, "Stay out of the puddles." 我妈说：“别往水坑里踩啊。”

I said okay. 我嘴上答应得好好的。

I did not mean it. 心里可完全不是这么想的。

The first puddle was small. 遇到的第一个水坑挺小的。

I stepped in carefully, and nothing bad happened. 我小心翼翼地踩了进去，啥事儿也没有。

My socks stayed dry. 袜子一点儿都没湿。

It felt like magic. 感觉就像魔法一样神奇。

So I found a bigger one, and jumped. 于是我又找了个更大的，直接蹦了进去。

After that, no puddle on our street was safe. 打那以后，整条街上的水坑全遭了殃。

I walked home in a zigzag, from one to the next, 我一路走得歪歪扭扭的，挨个踩过去，

the water flying up around my knees. 水花都溅到了膝盖上。

These days I walk around puddles. 现在这年头，见到水坑我都会绕着走。

I'm wearing nice shoes. 毕竟脚上穿着体面的鞋，

I have somewhere to be. 手头还有赶着要去的地方。

But every time, a small voice says: just one. 但每次看到水坑，心里总有个微弱的声音在说：就踩一下嘛。
