With drought ravaging the little mountain town, the villagers were desperate for rain.
Being a religious community, they decided to come together early the following day to pray for rain.
The next morning at sunrise, everyone arrived and they began praying together in earnest, as they sang and they chanted their prayers.
But among them, just one single person stood out. A little girl. For she was the only one whose faith was so strong, that she brought an umbrella.
And when the clouds rolled in and the drops began to fall, it was she, and she alone who listened to the cascading rain echo from the top of that umbrella, as the gentle mist moistened her smiling little face.
With Love To All - Dick
Dear Reader: This Fable was inspired by the following quote from an author unknown: "Once all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer, all the people gathered, but only one boy came with an umbrella. That is faith."
