Nothing works the first time. Clothes get wet, but closer to autumn everything works out. The water gets cold and you should walk under an umbrella. For the first time, the shaman succeeded in driving out the downpour together with the Indians. He realized that the more people running in the summer rain, the faster the Sun comes out. Great Manitou, in this case, smiles at the whole tribe with a rainbow.
«Mamuka, I ran in the rain and shouted a magic phrase! Remember it and when you drive out the downpour, shout: O rain, go away! I am not afraid of you»! Shaman Yungani once shared his secret with Mamuka.
«I figured out how to banish rain, but reveal the secret, how to cause it»?
«Oh, Mamuka, this ancient teaching is called Kamlanie shamans».
To do this, you need to become observant like an ant. In the early morning, there is no dew on the leaves of the plants. You will notice how the birds begin to fly low above the ground. The smell of dampness fills the air. The wings of insects become heavy from this smell and the insects soar below. The birds are chasing them. The banks of the river and the well were shallow. A dark streak appears near the lake water. Clouds appear in the sky. Bees dont fly far from their hive, so they dont catch your eye. The clover drops its leaves and hides the inflorescence. Dandelions close, shrinking into a bud. The flies fly low, as always, so dont confuse it with the omen. The smoke from the bath does not rise up, but spreads like fog. The White Giant washed his carriage. The dog is eating grass.
«Hanukkah, why are you eating these plants»? Mamuka asked the snoring dog.
The four-legged companion pretended not to hear anything.
«Hanukkah! the Indian shouted loudly».
The dog shuddered, opened his eyes and turned to Mamuka. I breathed out barely audibly through my nose and lay down again.
«I know you can hear me, dont pretend», the Indian said, and continued to read the book aloud.
When everything matches, feel free to take the drum and knock on it. The blow of one drop should be imitated. So Manitou for some reason believes that this is where the rain begins. He begins to direct his breath clouds directly to your sound. Just watch out for the thunderstorm. In this case, Manitou realizes that he was deceived and is angry. Better to hide under the roof of the house.
«How hard should you beat the drum»? asked Hanukkah.
«Yungani said the force of the blow is not important. The main thing is to correctly imitate the sound of rain. If Manitou confuses it with a drop, it will rain down».
«But I dont have a drum», the lying dog said sadly.
«Nothing, Ill think of something», the Indian replied.
«Then read carefully and louder, suddenly we again miss something», barely audible, after a wide yawn whispered Hanukkah.
You can calculate how far away from you the lightning struck. For this, it is important to be able to count from one to sixty. As soon as you see a flash of lightning, start counting like this, pronouncing the number and pronouncing the «and»:
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6, if there was thunder on the count of six, then stop your count. Now you should divide six by three. It turns out the number I dont remember. So, the result obtained is two streets from you or two kilometers.
If you can only count to one, then close your ears. At home, immediately close the windows and turn off all electrical appliances. If youre outside, try to find a roof over your head. Noticing black clouds in the open field, run quickly to the house.
Quest from Mamuka: complete the Kamlaniya ritual
Dont you have a drum? Well, thats not scary. The shaman uses what is at hand. You can take an iron plate or turn over a plastic bucket. Its more difficult with a bucket, you have to sit next to it. The iron plate allows you to move and run. The bucket should be tapped with your palms. In the case of an iron plate or an iron mug, take a teaspoon and, running out into the street, hit the bottom of it. Remember the main rule: you should beat the tambourine lightly, imitating the falling drop.
When you make it rain, try to chase it away immediately. Dodge drops, run around the yard, try not to wet your shoes by jumping into a puddle. When you reach the Yungani mastery level, a large bird will fly to you and give you many feathers.
If you hear the sound of thunder, try to determine the distance from you to the place where the lightning really struck. To do this, on the way under the roof of Giant, go and count from one until you hear thunder. You should count while pronouncing the «and», listing: One and Two and Three and Four and Five and Six and Seven and Eight and Nine if about nine you heard thunder, then the distance to the place where Manitou threw lightning is equal to three streets or 3 kilometers. That is, we divide 9 by 3. Here is a table, if you are not a student of the school:
1 and thunder: beside you, cover your ears
2 and thunder: almost one street away from you, less than one kilometer
3 and thunder: exactly the street from you or one kilometer
4 and thunder: street and half of the street, one and a half kilometers
5 and thunder: slightly more than the previous one, but less than two streets
6 and thunder: two streets, two kilometers
7 and thunder: two streets and less than half of the third street
8 and thunder: two streets and almost half of the third street
9 and thunder: three streets or three kilometers
After the storm has passed, you can explore new territory! Do not forget, you are leaving the familiar lands of Komaria. There are a lot of angry mosquitoes after the rain. Manitou always forgives the Indians, do not be afraid of thunder and lightning when you are under the roof.
Dont forget: there is something magical to be found on the path of thunder. True, this is something that is usually found after a thunderstorm. When the lightning and thunder are gone and the rain stops. Remember the side where the thunder came from. Calculate the approximate distance, if you dont know how to count or divide, ask the white-skinned Giant to teach you how to divide by three. They say that the Great Manitou himself throws arrows from the wings of Pegasus and throws them into the ground. You can find them only after a thunderstorm.
Look in the eyes
«Hanukkah, what happens after the rain»? asked the Indian Mamuka from his faithful companion.
«Puddles! And sometimes I drink of them», said the snoring dog.
«Never do that! What do you need a bowl for? And what else happens after the rain», asked Mamuka, looking at his four-legged companion.
«Rainbow»! almost immediately, without hesitation, replied Hanukkah.
«Yes, you are right. How many flowers did you count in it»? asked Mamuka.
«Now I will count», the dog silently looked at the wall and scratched behind his ear, «thats so much»!
«How much is this»? asked the Indian, not having time, counting the movements of his friend.
