Ⅳ. One possible version:
Last Saturday, I was getting my bike ready to ride in the park when heavy rain started to pour. I felt upset—riding was my favourite weekend plan!
While the rain was hitting the window, my mum and I were making hot cocoa and looking at old photos. We were pointing at my silly baby pictures and laughing loudly. Soon, I didn't even think about the bike ride.
By the time the rain lightened, we'd talked about so many fun old stories. That rainy day didn't ruin my weekend—it turned into the nicest afternoon I'd had in weeks!
