BY THE RAIN
was once a light breeze, lived flying in the sky .
without shackles and without inhibitions, sped at full sail .
and looked into this world without joy, without considering paying for everything.
and taking off , laughing over a precipice, believed angel rescue me .

was fire, fire careless and did not know in the heat of passion
that burns a candle time, leaving only ashes days.
but many times in desperation that flame was warmed .
burning other accidentally I did not expect the fire in response .

and now at the dawn but autumn walks in the door, knocking on the window.
life goes on and enters. all meted out long ago.
and when the damn was inevitable, I will again wind and fire.
just come to you will tenderness, sadness and light rain.

(Note: Much of this is not grammatically correct, but since it's poetry I didn't change any of it.)

A long time ago, people were not living in the way they should, they were not taking care of anything, and they were not treating their women right.

Oh, that’s not good! So, the creator made the rain stop to teach them a lesson. Well, days and days went by and it didn’t rain. The lakes dried up, the rivers dried up, the animals ran away, and the people were worried.

So the elders told the men to go look for water and food. The men went up North. Days and days and days went by. Finally toward the South, there was water, there were plants and there were animals. Now, as time went by, the women started to get sick, the mothers started to die because they were not eating.

Finally after many days, the men made it back to the village. When they got to the village they saw the elders and the children crying, and the men started to cry. They looked up at the sky and they told the creator: « we are sorry for what we have done, we will never ever ever treat our women badly again ». And they buried all the women in places in the village that no matter where you went, you would see a grave to remember what those women did for their people. Time went by, and still no rain.

But one day, the elders got a message from the creator. The creator said « I will give you rain, but I also will give you food that will feed you forever. And it will come from your women. »
And one morning, one young little girl walked out of these graves. After a short period of time, a fruit came out and when the elders opened it up, it looked like the women were smiling because it was white corn and it looked like teeth. And when they bit into the corn, it was sweet like mother’s milk. And they said: « Ah, this is the gift from the creator. »

Ever since that day, we have never ever mistreated our women again. Every year, we have a ceremony: all the men go seven days without sleeping, seven days without eating, and we dance all seven days in honor of our women. Because our women give us so much. Treat your women well, we do.

When she was a little girl, Queen Elizabeth had a parrot named Charlotte. Today, the Queen doesn't have birds anymore but she has dogs, she loves dogs! Her favourite dog is Candy, a brown Corgi aged 12.

Prince William and Princess Kate have a new dog. They adopted the puppy in January 2021. It is a 1-year-old puppy and his name is a mystery for the moment. Before, they had a cocker. His name was Lupo and it was a black English cocker. Sadly, Lupo died in November 2020 at the age of 8. Prince William's children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, are very happy with their new pet.

Harry (William's little brother) and Meghan live in the USA and they have two dogs: a black, brown and white Beagle named Guy and a black Labrador adopted in 2018. Her name is Pula.

William and Harry's father, Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, adopted two dogs in 2012: two Jack Russels named Bluebell and Beth.

What about cats? The British Royal family is not a big fan of cats but Princess Michael of Kent ( a cousin of Queen Elizabeth) is definitely a cat person. She has many cats.
