WHEN DROUGHT STRUCK
It did not rain. We were at the mercy of nature. Each day we woke up we gazed at the sky for a long time hoping that clouds would rent it. We longed for its special breeze, that breeze that normally heralds the coming of the rain and we reminisced its glad tidings. Each night we count the number of the stars in the sky, hoping that each successive night would have a lesser number of stars than the previous night. So, we continued to examine the sky looking for any clue that the clouds might gather and then pour some rain for us. No luck.

5 LESSONS YOU LEARN OUTSIDE THE HUMAN WORLD
Has it ever amazed you how other creatures structure their life in some more orderly manner with no other force than the force of nature? Does it ever appeal to you how events repeat themselves day after day, month after month and year after year, so much that we humans become accustom to those events that we are able to predict, though not always accurately, what would happen at some given time? If you had watched more closely, you would have realized that we crafted certain events into immutable laws by our inductive reasoning. We are able to state what weather is and how it revolves in some societies differently from the others. We are able to state what time of the year is winter, what time of the year is summer. And in the tropical zones, we are able to determine what time of the year is the planting season and what time is the harvest season. No, I do not mean by technology! I mean by mere observation!
