A RAINY 1>A V.
A rainy day, in iis place, that is
when it in needed 10 make the crops
?irow, is alright, but out of its place
it is not at ail a good tiling.
For instance, licforo the battle of
Waterloo Liter** bad boon Bficeral oT
thesn riiin v days, and wiiou the. grout ;
general's troops L began to push 1<jt- 1
ward they found themselves stuck
f;?8t in t lie muil with the' artillery,
and it w?s whilo in tbls condition
iliat tbey had to suffer defeat; and
if ilt had not been for those rainy
d-tys, i he ti?ie of the battle might
have be?'n changed and the map of
ICnropo miglit have been different*
Historiuns say that tins was a good
result, but I, sympathizing with .Na
poleon, declare that it was a bad re
sult.
Again, it is bad for this reason: it
delays work for several weeks and
months in tropical countries where
(hey have what is called a "rainy"
and n "dry" reason. In the Phillip*
pine?. this is so, and the rainy sea
won t};ere certainly was no advantage'
