call it the greenhouse effect or whatever but it just doesn't rain like it used to. I particularly remember the rains of the depression era. there wasn't any money but there was plenty of rain. it wouldn't rain for just a night or a day, it would RAIN for 7 days and 7 nights and in Los Angeles the storm drains weren't built to carry off taht much water and the rain came down THICK and MEAN and STEADY and you HEARD it banging against the roofs and into the ground waterfalls of it came down from roofs and there was HAIL big ROCKS OF ICE bombing exploding smashing into things and the rain just wouldn't STOP and all the roofs leakeddishpans, cooking pots were placed all about; they dripped loudly and had to be emptied again and again. the rain came up over the street curbings, across the lawns, climbed up the steps and entered the houses. there were mops and bathroom towels, and the rain often came up through the toilets:bubbling, brown, crazy,whirling, and all the old cars stood in the streets, cars that had problems starting on a sunny day, and the jobless men stood looking out the windows at the old machines dying like living things out there. the jobless men, failures in a failing time were imprisoned in their houses with their wives and children and their pets. the pets refused to go out and left their waste in strange places. the jobless men went mad confined with their once beautiful wives. there were terrible arguments as notices of foreclosure fell into the mailbox. rain and hail, cans of beans, bread without butter;fried eggs, boiled eggs, poached eggs; peanut butter sandwiches, and an invisible chicken in every pot. my father, never a good man at best, beat my mother when it rained as I threw myself between them, the legs, the knees, the screams until they seperated. "I'll kill you," I screamed at him. "You hit her again and I'll kill you!" "Get that son-of-a-bitching kid out of here!" "no, Henry, you stay with your mother!" all the households were under seige but I believe that ours held more terror than the average. and at night as we attempted to sleep the rains still came down and it was in bed in the dark watching the moon against the scarred window so bravely holding out most of the rain, I thought of Noah and the Ark and I thought, it has come again. we all thought that. and then, at once, it would stop. and it always seemed to stop around 5 or 6 a.m., peaceful then, but not an exact silence because things continued to drip drip drip and there was no smog then and by 8 a.m. there was a blazing yellow sunlight, Van Gogh yellowcrazy, blinding! and then the roof drains relieved of the rush of water began to expand in the warmth: PANG!PANG!PANG! and everybody got up and looked outside and there were all the lawns still soaked greener than green will ever be and there were birds on the lawn CHIRPING like mad, they hadn't eaten decently for 7 days and 7 nights and they were weary of berries and they waited as the worms rose to the top, half drowned worms. the birds plucked them up and gobbled them down;there were blackbirds and sparrows. the blackbirds tried to drive the sparrows off but the sparrows, maddened with hunger, smaller and quicker, got their due. the men stood on their porches smoking cigarettes, now knowing they'd have to go out there to look for that job that probably wasn't there, to start that car that probably wouldn't start. and the once beautiful wives stood in their bathrooms combing their hair, applying makeup, trying to put their world back together again, trying to forget that awful sadness that gripped them, wondering what they could fix for breakfast. and on the radio we were told that school was now open. and soon there I was on the way to school, massive puddles in the street, the sun like a new world, my parents back in that house, I arrived at my classroom on time. Mrs. Sorenson greeted us with, "we won't have our usual recess, the grounds are too wet." "AW!" most of the boys went. "but we are going to do something special at recess," she went on, "and it will be fun!" well, we all wondered what that would be and the two hour wait seemed a long time as Mrs.Sorenson went about teaching her lessons. I looked at the little girls, they looked so pretty and clean and alert, they sat still and straight and their hair was beautiful in the California sunshine. the the recess bells rang and we all waited for the fun. then Mrs. Sorenson told us: "now, what we are going to do is we are going to tell each other what we did during the rainstorm! we'll begin in the front row and go right around! now, Michael, you're first!. . ." well, we all began to tell our stories, Michael began and it went on and on, and soon we realized that we were all lying, not exactly lying but mostly lying and some of the boys began to snicker and some of the girls began to give them dirty looks and Mrs.Sorenson said, "all right! I demand a modicum of silence here! I am interested in what you did during the rainstorm even if you aren't!" so we had to tell our stories and they were stories. one girl said that when the rainbow first came she saw God's face at the end of it. only she didn't say which end. one boy said he stuck his fishing pole out the window and caught a little fish and fed it to his cat. almost everybody told a lie. the truth was just too awful and embarassing to tell. then the bell rang and recess was over. "thank you," said Mrs. Sorenson, "that was very nice. and tomorrow the grounds will be dry and we will put them to use again." most of the boys cheered and the little girls sat very straight and still, looking so pretty and clean and alert, their hair beautiful in a sunshine that the world might never see again.

«Но мы собираемся сделать
что-то особенное
углубление: «Она продолжила,
«И это будет
весело!"
Ну, мы все задумались
Что это будет
быть
и два часа ожидания
казалось многое время
Как миссиссоренсон
пошел
Учить ее
Уроки.
Я посмотрел на маленький
девушки, они выглядели так
красиво и чистый и
тревога,
Они сидели еще и
прямой
и их волосы были
красивая
в калифорнии
Солнечный свет.
перерыв колоколов звонил
и мы все ждали
весело.
Тогда миссис Соренсон сказала нам:
«Теперь, что мы собираемся
делать ли мы собираемся сказать
друг друга, что мы сделали
Во время дождя!
Мы начнем в переднем ряду
И идти прямо!
Теперь, Майкл, ты первый!. Отказ "
Ну, мы все начали рассказывать
Наши истории Майкл начал
И он продолжил и дальше,
и вскоре мы поняли, что
Мы все лежали, а не
точно лежит, но в основном
лежа и некоторые мальчики
начал слиться и некоторые
девушек начали давать
их грязные взгляды и
Миссиссоренсон сказал,
«Хорошо! Я требую
Хоть молчания
здесь!
Я заинтересован в том, что
ты сделал
во время дождя
даже если ты
не! »
поэтому мы должны были сказать нашему
истории, и они были
рассказы.
Одна девушка сказала, что
Когда радуга сначала
пришел
Она увидела Божье лицо
в конце этого.
Только она не сказала, какой конец.
один мальчик сказал, что он застрял
его рыбацкий полюс
из окна
и поймал немного
рыбы
и накормил его
Кот.
почти все сказали
ложь.
правда была просто
слишком ужасно и
Смаривание, чтобы сказать.
Тогда звонок
и углубление было
над.
«Спасибо», - сказала миссис
Соренсон, "Это было очень
отлично.
и завтра основа
будет сухой
и мы поставим их
использовать
опять таки."
большинство мальчиков
прибавлять
и маленькие девочки
сидел очень прямо и
Все еще,
выглядит так красиво и
чистый и
тревога,
их волосы красивые на солнце, что
Мир может никогда не увидеть
опять таки.
