For a long time while they were walking home through the rain, the girl was thinking. Then at last she turned to her mother and said to her, "why does it rain, Mother？ It isn't very nice, is it？"

"No, it isn't very nice, but it's useful," answered her mother. "It rains to make the fruit and the vegetables grow for us, and to make the grass grow for the cows and sheep."
