And then it rained

It's not a good monsoon. There hasn't been enough rain. The sun is scorching. The leaves are as still as stone on the branches. Every living being on earth is joined in the single silent prayer to the heavens above. Let there be rain.

Someone once said "be careful what you wish. There may be a stray fairy flitting about and who knows what you might end up". It was a Frog who used to be human before his path was crossed by said stray fairy. Hence, when you wish for relief from the dreadful weather, you better pack away your badminton rackets and your running shoes. Because it'll never rain when you're sitting by the window and gazing into the middle distance, nor when you're watching television or just cleaning the room. It won't even rain when you're asleep and bound to miss it. No, it won't rain when you want it to. But it will rain!

It will rain exactly when you want it the least. You may be taking a walk or running late for work, or playing an outdoor sport. And that is the moment God will have chosen to make your wish come true.
