The Weatherman’s Tale
I'm a weatherman. I work for the television. Last night something strange happened. I gave my weather forecast as usual : Plenty of sunshine today, I said, but snow tomorrow. I gave all the details, the temperatures, expected snowfall, possible disruptions and so on. That was all. Forecast done, I was already thinking about going home. But then people started coming into the studio. They didn’t normally do that. Some applauded. Others laughed. But others were very unhappy. Snow in August Bill? That's impossible, they said. Well, I answered, that's the forecast. We'll just have to see, won't we?
