A pigmy went to his first cricket match and was describing it to his witch-doctor on his return. 'It was a beautiful sunny Sunday: he said. 'A big crowd of people had gathered around this big field of grass. In the middle there was a thin strip of mowed grass. And there were three sticks at either end. And a man in a long overcoat came out with two men in sweaters. And he tossed something silvery into the air. They went out and in came II men in sweaters and white pants. One of them was padded and had great big gloves. Then out came two men with pads on their legs and small gloves holding big sticks. They took positions at either end of the strip and another man came running towards them and threw a red ball at the person holding the stick And at that very minute it started to pour. Those white men sure know how to make rain.'
