RFI - Trying to Recall the Name of a Story I Once Read - Science Fiction

So, WAY back, I read a story or a book about a future in which the sun only comes out very rarely, and the effects that this had on people. In the end, I think the main character misses seeing the sun.

I cannot remember the name of said story.

Anyone help me out on this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfall_(Asimov_short_story)

although that's the reverse of what you're talking about

No, pretty sure it was the other way around.

oh i think i've read this or like 2 different versions of this and i'm conflating them:
one's a bradbury story and the other is probably asimov. in the bradbury story they bully a kid and lock her in the basement or something and she misses it then they all feels sad.
the asimov? one, the sun makes them all insane and reverts them to unthinking brutes, and civiilization gets wiped each time the sun comes out. so there's a secret plan to hide the sun or something.

the bradbury one is probably in martian chronicles

?

in the bradbury story they bully a kid and lock her in the basement or something and she misses it then they all feels sad.

TOTALLY! That's the one!

You think Martian Chronicles? I was pretty sure it was Bradbury, but didn't want to narrow anyone's search.

Yeah it's definitely the Bradbury one.

All Summer in a Day.

WOOT!

"All Summer In a Day"

Nice.

Thanks, guys.

that was adapted to a short film, I remember seeing it in elementary school

"A 30 minute adaptation was originally broadcast on the PBS children's series "Wonderworks" in 1982. It was directed by Ed Kaplan from a screenplay by S. Murdock Donaldson [2]. In the adaptation, Margot has one friend and is never emotionally distraught. The ending is expanded to show the children atoning for their horrible act by giving Margot flowers that they picked while the sun was out."

ArgH! This is worse than greedo shooting first.

On YouTube in three parts:

It really does take the punch out of it, doesn't it?

I do not recall having seen the adaptation - my teacher in elementary school would not have stood for this type of dumbing down.
