The rainy season

The rainy season

Moko wonders why the clouds all come and cry on his village at once. Why are they so sad? He asks the old wise man who suggests that he wait until the end of the rainy season to understand. Once the rains have stopped, Moko returns to see the old man. He tells Moko that the answer is in the fields. Moko sees then that the rains have made the crops grow and thinks that the clouds are not crying when it rains, they are offering all of their water to the earth to make it fertile.

The rainy season
One morning, the sky was thick with clouds. A storm rumbled somewhere off in the distance, and Moko sensed that the rains would soon reach his village.
The first few drops started coming down. "It's as if the clouds are sad, and they're crying on the village," He said to himself. Moko headed to the village elder's house.
"Why are the clouds so sad that they cry every year on our village?" Moko asked him. "It's the rainy season," answered the elder. "Wait until it ends, and you'll understand."
