RAIN Based on a Chinese folk tale parable.
Once there was a great drought in ancient China. All the rice fields wilted.
People were in panic. They impatiently awaited the return of their good Emperor.
Oh! How can I help these poor people?!
If you give the order, water will be distributed to them from the reservoir.
Switch the barrel, and hide the water!
Quick, paint it over faster!
Where are you going without a written permit?!
Go get the permit at once!
Where's the water? Where's the water? Where's the water?
Traitor! Where's the water?
Shall he be executed?!
Execute him!
Scoundrel! Thief!
O master of our lives, won't you order the rebels to be hung?!
I feel sorry for those who do not even have hats...
Now, my hour has come.
Our master entrusts you to distribute these hats...
to those who do not have one to wear in the rain.
Military commanders, come to me! Our Most Gracious Master entrusts you
to distribute the hats from this chest to those who do not have a hat.
Army, attention!!! Bring here those who currently
don't have hats on their head!
What shall we do?
Execute them!
Happy town! Happy country!
