Weather and Men
Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. It is
true. People usually begin their talks with "Isn't it a nice day?" "Do you think
it will rain?" "What a fine day!" etc.
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But
they hardly agree with each other. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it
is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow." Another man will say, "No, it's
going to be fine tomorrow."
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he
looks for something to tell him it's going to rain; he won't believe anything
else. When friends have a travel, they are sure the weather is goint to clear
up very quickly.
Almost everyone listens to what the weather man says. But he doesn't always
tell us what we want, and once in a while he makes a mistake. Still, he probably
comes closer to being correct than anyone else.
