Although the day appeared cloudy since morning, many people still went
to the market because they needed groceries to prepare for family events.
Meanwhile, the children were playing in the yard even though the rain began to
fall lightly. Moreover, some vendors decided to open their stalls earlier so
that they could attract more customers. On the other hand, some people chose to
stay at home so they could rest while enjoying a cup of warm tea. Thus, the
atmosphere in the neighborhood remained lively and dynamic, despite the
unfavorable weather.
