Weather and Men
Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it．It is true．People usually be-gin 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 any-thing else．When friends have a travel, they are sure the weather is going 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．
