Double Disappointment

It's hard to believe but who am I to doubt the nature scenes? I was in the shop just yesterday when I experienced what was unexpected. This has never happened before and I don't know how it happened, but who am I to question the one who made it happen?

While in the shop, it was sunny in the afternoon and I was not comfortable with the weather. Suddenly, the weather changed and the breeze was extraordinary. It's a kind of breeze I have not experienced in my life. I initially sat under a tree very close to my shop just to accept the nature scenery. It was so great taking in the cool breeze blowing from the North. While in the realm of enjoyment, I suddenly fell asleep, forgetting that the weather had changed.

No human being in my shoes would open up his or her eyes widely without having the feeling of dizziness. I dozed off and not too long, the rain started. As it was falling, I thought I was dreaming not knowing I have been drenched by rain. Before I knew it, someone who was running home woke me up. What a disgrace for me!!!

When I got to the shop, I saw the unexpected. Goats have been disturbing me for some time now and they do not even allow me to relax for a bit. This time around, the weather has caused me double shame. I saw my raw beans on the floor and they also ate some onion bulbs.

After a few minutes of entering the shop, the rain increased. It was so intense that I had to go back to the shop a bit.

Not too long, my husband came in drenched from head to toe. Water was drilling out from his clothes and he was shivering so intensely as such rain cannot hammer someone. I knew he was going to have a fever and so I locked up my shop, took the umbrella and went home with him. I prepared hot water which he would bathe in.

This was what I called double disappointment.
