Some group of engineers were working on a building site near a village. An old man from the village usually pauses once in a while to say hello on his way to his farm. On the first day that he came, he greeted them all and looks at the sky and said: "it's going to rain very soon". They were all surprised as there was no cloud formation depicting rainfall. So they ignored his comment and continued with their work. A few while after, there was a heavy downpour that washed away all that day's work. The foreman at the site was so devastated about the development.
The next day, the old man came and repeated what he said yesterday and it poured heavily again. The third day, the foreman was the one that asked the old man as he was passing if it's going to rain. His answer was no and there was no rain. They were as well surprised and puzzled, so the foreman decided to employ the old man as a rain maker and soothsayer.
Whenever the old man tells them it's going to rain, no work will be carried out that day but if otherwise, there will be normal operation. This has been on for about two weeks until one day that the old man came and he was asked if it's going to rain but he said he doesn't know. He was asked why and he said: There was no light yester night so I couldn't watch the weather forecast on TV!
Lol…
cHeErS!
