Wind, rain, heat, and cold were the enemies of early man. At first, man tried to escape from storms and
rain in caves or in any sheltered places he could find. It took a long time for man to think of building
houses to protect himself from the wind and rain.

The weather was also the enemy of early sailors. A sudden storm could destroy their boats and the
people in them. Early farmers were often worried about weather changes which might destroy their
crops. Even today, farmers are afraid of bad weather conditions which might harm their years work.

In the past, people in most countries believed that rain and the sun were gods in order to make the gods
do what they wanted. So they used to dance and perform plays to try and bring rain and sunshine when

Arouses my appetite for some breakfast
