done nothing else but see the sky towards the north-east. "Now we're really going to get some water, woman."
"Now we're really going to get some water, woman." The woman who was preparing supper, replied, “Yes, God
willing". The older boys were working in the field, while the smaller ones were playing near the house until the

on his body, and when he returned he exclaimed, "These aren't raindrops falling from the sky, they are new coins.
The big drops are ten cent pieces and the little ones are fives." With a satisfied expression he regarded the field of
ripe corn with its flowers, draped in a curtain of rain. But suddenly a strong wind began to blow and along with the
rain very large hailstones began to fall. These truly did resemble new silver coins. The boys, exposing themselves to
the rain. ran out to collect the frozen pearls.
