There was a town where rain was not coming. In anticipation of the rain, the priest of the town called all the people to prayer at the temple one morning as it was already getting late in the season.
It was then that people started praying to God for rain to fall.
After a while, the whole town laughed at one child because they realised that the small child had brought an umbrella with him.
They chuckled and said: “You fool, why do you have an umbrella on?” The rains have not been forecast for any time in the near future, so you don’t need to worry about it.”.
In a smile that spread across his face, the little child said…
“But I thought that the rain would come when you pray.”
Suddenly, there was a heavy downpour of rain falling from the sky. The little child was the only one with an umbrella.
