"Rain is a capricious old witch named Ashka’rhuna. When rain falls, it is Ashka’rhuna who has let down her long gray hair. At first, say the Rizha, she croons over the fields and hillsides because she likes little flowers. But she can’t see very well, and she forgets what she is doing. So it keeps raining. Even though Rizha children are admonished to save seeds and plant all the flowers they can to make Ashka’rhuna happy, still there are never enough little flowers, or children, and they don’t last forever. So compulsive old Ashka’rhuna combs her hair harder and harder. Soon she forgets about the flowers. Then she madly combs her hair for days and weeks without end." ~ G. L. Kay The Island Gardens of Takau
