One day it finally stopped raining on Venus. Very slowly they moved towards the cupboard and even more slowly they opened the door, letting Margot out. All the students felt bad and no one wanted to approach her. They were all ashamed of the horrible trick that they played upon her. The rain again started falling and they all rushed inside.Īs the enter the hallway, one student suddenly remembered Margot being locked away in the cupboard, deprived of having seen the sun. All the children looked up at the sky just in time to see the sun disappear. As they were enjoying, one girl suddenly screamed and pointed in her outstretched hand a big raindrop. The kids shouted out excitedly and all rushed out to play and laugh under the sun. For very soon, the rain stopped and from behind the clouds, out came the bright sun surrounded by the blue sky. But some mischievous classmates of her began to taunt her saying what the scientists had said was fake and soon they locked her in a cupboard.īut the scientists were not wrong. She was very eager to see the sun, to feel the warmth of the sun. However the news of the Sun coming out not only excited the children but also Margot. Margot remained aloof and depressed for being away from home and never fitting in. Margot remembered the sun distinctly, opposing to what the others believe the sun to actually be. None of the kids apart from Margot, who had moved to Venus from Earth five years ago, remembered the sun properly as they all had been mere two years old. The sun came out on Venus every seven years and in all those seven years, there had been nothing but continuous and regular rain.įinally, if the scientists’ prediction proved correct, the sun was destined to come out that day. All the nine-year old children were eagerly waiting for one special event that is the viewing of the sun.

The story started with a group of children with their families living on the planet Venus.

So one day, according to the scientists, the sun is expected to come out and the story revolves around that one day when the sun finally comes out. The children in the school mentioned in the story haven’t seen the sun in the past seven years and all this time, they just endured the rain daily. According to the writer’s words, a group of rocket carrying men and women had gone to Venus to set up civilization and settled there. It talks about a group of school children living on the planet Venus. Ray Bradbury’s short story, “All summer in a day”, revolves around quite a unique plot.
