How the rain came

Description:
A legend about Pwau, who climbed a bamboo stalk and visited the moon in a time of drought, to ask for rain. There are two types of rain: Nolo, the good rain, and Urap, the bad rain that floods everything. The moon tells Pwau to go down and dig watering holes, and he will send Nolo in five days. This is why there are watering holes everywhere on Baluan, and why the Ayap clan has power over the weather.. Language as given: Paluai. You can access this item at the PARADISEC website.
