The Rain Seller

 The Rain Seller

The rain seller, named Celedón, was an amazing person. He lived in a quiet village where the inhabitants depended on nature for their harvest. However, every year there came a time of drought, and during this period Celedón offered his services.

 

On the driest day, when the earth was cracking with thirst, Celedón would go out to the central square of the village with a colorful umbrella kiosk decorated with images of clouds and raindrops. He was dressed in a multi-colored raincoat that resembled a rainbow, and his smile sparkled brighter than the sun itself.

 

Passing by, residents noticed him and approached the kiosk with curiosity. Celedón smiled hospitably and began his unusual ritual.

 

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is your lucky day!" he announced. "I offer you something special - rain! All you have to do is choose what kind of rain you want, and your plot of land will become an oasis in this arid desert."

 

The villagers, faced with such an amazing opportunity, were interested in choosing the type of rain: light summer rain, refreshing after the drought, or moderate rain, which would contribute to a bountiful harvest. Celedón used his magical umbrella, raising it high into the sky, and soon dark clouds began to gather over the village.

 

When the first drops began to fall, joy and surprise overwhelmed the residents. They took to the streets, danced in the rain and thanked Celedón for his amazing services.

 

But Celedón did not take money for his work. Instead, he asked only one thing - that everyone who felt gratitude for the rain would plant a new tree in gratitude to nature. Thus, the village became not only richer in harvest, but also greener and more resilient to climate change.

 

So Celedón, the rain seller, brought not only rain to the village, but also hope, inspiring people to take care of nature and each other.
