| Author | Ray Bradbury |
| Genre | The rare presence of thesun on the Planet Venus |
Margot was one of the children studying in a school on the Venus. She was a frail girl. She had come to the Venus from US five years ago. She looked like an old picture dusted from an album. If she spoke at all her voice would be like that of a ghost. She was bullied by others, especially a boy by name William. She would play no games with them. If they tagged her and ran she stood Silently and blinked at them. When the class sang songs about happiness, life and game, her lips barely moved. When she described the sun as a fire in a stove, she was called a liar. Once, a month ago she refused to shower in the school shower room. She was different from others. They hated her pale snow face, her waiting silence, her thinness and her possible future. She looked like an alien on the Venus.
| To be happy, you must be your own sunshine |

Yes, the children regretted having locked Margot in a closet. When the sun faded, they returned to the classroom. Giving a little cry, one of the girls said that Margot was still in the closet where they had locked her. All the children stood as if one had driven them into the floor. They glanced out at the world that was then raining steadily. They could not meet each other's glances. Their faces were pale. They looked serious. They looked at their hands and feet, their faces down. They gradually realised their unkind act and repented in their heart. They walked over to the closet. They unlocked the door slowly and let Margot out. They regretted that they had denied their classmate the rarest opportunity to see the sun and play with them.

The children were anxious to see the sun that had appeared seven years ago. They locked Margot, one of their classmates in a room. The moment the sun appeared they rushed out happily.

| Title | All Summer in Day |
| Author | Ray Bradbury |
| Genre | The rare presence of the sun on the Planet Venus |
The children are just thrilled seeing the sun come out. They rush out of the classroom
shouting happily. They run and turn their faces up towards to the sky. They feel the sun on their
cheeks like a warm iron. They take off their jackets and allow the sun to burn their arms. They lie
out on the jungle matresses with laughter. They run among the trees, slip and fall. They push each other and play hide and seek. Most of all they squint at the sun until tears roll down their faces. They put their hands up to the yellowness and the amazing blueness. They keep on listening to silence. They look at everything wildly like the animals that escaped from their caves. They keep on running and shouting in circles. They run non-stop for an hour.
