Weather
The naughtiest thing in the world is the weather. It’s like a capricious woman
who always does the opposite to what you ask her.
When you want to go for a picnic in the open air you ask the skies
to remain
clear and the day to be fine. Nervously you switch on the radio and listen to the
weather forecast. You tremble with joy to hear that it’ll stay warm and dry with
bright sunshine and moderate breeze. Your imagination draws a hot summer af-
ternoon and yourself saying: “
Nice weather we are having today!” You take a lot
of food and no warm clothes, go to the countryside but ... do not get anything
sunny. You get it cloudy and cool with intermittent drizzle which ends with a
thundery shower. The sky is so heavily cast with clouds, the downpours follow
one another with such frequency, the
rumbling of thunder and flashes of light-
ning are so frightening that you’ve got no illusions left. You throw away the
food and go back hungry and angry. And when you are already approaching
your home
soaked to the skin it suddenly brightens up. Oh, Goodness!
Each summer every student survives through the best of his or her life - an
examination session. Then many students plead: “Please, weather, stay
cloudy,
chilly and even cold with brisk northerly wind and rain torrents leaving pools
and puddles everywhere, especially on the playground. And I’ll be a good stu-
dent.” The radio promises: “
Patchy light drizzle with showery outbreaks of
rain.” But the “patch” is never in the right place. Instead the skies send heat and
excellent weather for a
sun tan. Everyone knows that sun tan never helps at ex-
ams.
