Despite the clear skies from Sunday to Thursday, Manu repeatedly asks his mother when it will rain. His mother patiently explains the weather patterns, reassuring him that rain is not imminent on the sunny and clear days. However, by Friday, the clouds begin to gather, and on Saturday, heavy rain finally arrives, accompanied by thunder. The narrative highlights Manu's childlike wonder and the gradual shift in weather, culminating in the fulfillment of his wish to experience the rain with his new raincoat. The story is accompanied by illustrations that depict the changing weather and Manu's expressions of hope and excitement.","Story 21: The Red Raincoat  \nWritten By: Kiran Kasturia Illustrator: Zainab Tambawalla English  \nCopyright © 2015, Pratham Books  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)[ ](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)[You may not use this work for commercial purposes.

If you wear your raincoat, you will look quite funny!” said Ma.  \nOn Tuesday, the sky was blue.  \n“Ma, WHEN will my wish come true?” asked Manu.  \n“Not today, my dear, there is just one white cloud in the sky!” said Ma.  \nWednesday was hot.  \n“Ma, WHY doesn’t it rain?” asked Manu.  \n“Son, I think it will rain very soon. Maybe even before it is noon,” said Ma.  \nOn Thursday Manu went on a picnic.“Ma, WHAT if it rains? Should I take the raincoat with me?” asked Manu.  \n“No my dear, it will not rain today. The little white clouds are too high in the sky,” said Ma.  \nFriday was cloudy.  \n“Ma, will it rain today?” asked Manu loudly.“It might, my dear. There are some dark clouds low down in the sky,” said Ma.  \nSaturday began with a bang! Badaboom!“Ma, is that thunder I hear? Will it rain very soon?” asked Manu.  \nAnd then at last, it started raining!","cbCaicYKJQGv76Xz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicYKJQGv76Xz","pdf",611226,2,14,"English","en",105,"# Story 21: The Red Raincoat","[{\"question\":\"What did Manu receive on Sunday?\",\"answer\":\"On Sunday, Manu's parents got him a new red raincoat.\"},{\"question\":\"Why couldn't Manu wear his raincoat at first?\",\"answer\":\"Manu could not wear his raincoat at first because the sky was clear and the rains were not near.\"},{\"question\":\"What happened on Saturday?\",\"answer\":\"Saturday began with a bang and thunder, and at last, it started raining.\"}]",1784310447,22,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"story-21-the-red-raincoat","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,46,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-21-the-red-raincoat/91975/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-26","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What did Manu receive on Sunday?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"On Sunday, Manu's parents got him a new red raincoat.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Why couldn't Manu wear his raincoat at first?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Manu could not wear his raincoat at first because the sky was clear and the rains were not near.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What happened on Saturday?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Saturday began with a bang and thunder, and at last, it started raining.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
