The weather is a thing that I can never understand. I remember one summer day. We read the weather forecast in the newspaper: \"Heavy showers with thunderstorms.\" We decided to stay at home. We looked at the people who were passing our house and said, \"They will come home quite wet.\" At twelve o\'clock it became very hot. One of us said, \"I\'d like to know when will those heavy showers and thunderstorms begin?\" \"Ah! They will come in the afternoon, you\'ll see,\" we said to each other. But there was no rain on that day. The next morning we read, \"The weather will be warm and fine, no rain.\" We went to the country. We wanted to have a good rest. But it began to rain hard, and it was raining the whole day. We came home quite wet, with colds and rheumatism all over us.
