"HOW THE CLOUDS CAME"
The weather clerk was very angry, and his servants were very frightened. All the trouble was about rain. The weather clerk had been furious. He had ordered all tho rain taps to bo turned on and now they would not turn off. The servants were terrified lest the rain should flood mortal land. At last one! day when the weather clerk was tearing his hair and stamping his feet, a message came to say that someone wanted to see him.. . .
"Well, show: them in," the -weather clerk roared, "and. don't stand .there with your knees knocking." ' Timidly, the servant went and showed the visitor in.
"Please," said the visitor, laying down a big parcel, "this is material to put the rain in." The clerk beamed with pleasure and gave tho visitor a gold piece. The material was soft like the down of a thiatle. Into this the rain was put and they were sent floating into the air.
