Today I'm going to tell you a story about a village. It's a village, there are a lot of people living in it. And this village is engaged in growing fruits, for example, apples or pears. They also grow vegetables, for example, cabbage, potatoes and carrots. They also grow grains, for example, rice and wheat. The whole village cultivates the land and grows fruits, vegetables and cereals. But this year's a big problem. It's very hot this year, and the sun shines very brightly. The plants on the fields don't have enough water, and they die. But if there is a bad harvest, it's very bad for the village. They'll starve, and they might die. All people can die. There is an elder in this village. The old man is a man. He's very old. He has a beard. He's lived a very long time. And the whole village respects and obeys him. He runs the village. And the elder today came out of the house and said. People, I had a dream. I dreamt I saw God. And God told me that if the people of the village gather together, If they pray for rain, And there will be at least one person who truly believes in it, Who will pray from his heart, It's going to rain. Tomorrow morning we have to do this. Tomorrow morning we will all gather in the square and we will pray to God. All the people agree? Everyone is waiting for the rain. And in the morning in one family mom and dad went to the square. Their little son wanted to go to the square too, and he took an umbrella with him. Mom and Dad looked at him and said. It hasn't rained in two months. All the neighbors will laugh at us when they see you. Sit at home, we won't take you with us. And they closed the door, hung the lock, and the kid stayed inside. And all the people of the village gathered, they sat in a circle and began to pray. There were so many people, and they prayed for an hour, then two hours, then three hours. But there's not even a flapper in the sky. It's not raining, and the sun is shining very brightly. They keep praying. Meanwhile, the child opened the window and came out of the house. The child came to the square, opened his umbrella, sat down on the ground and began to pray. Everyone looks at him and laughs. He's a fool, and his parents are ashamed. Our son is a fool, but as soon as the boy sat down on the ground, as soon as he began to pray, it started to rain. Only he really believed that God would help, so he took an umbrella. That's all.
