It doesn’t often rain in Marrakech
during the month of May.
One of the locals said he couldn’t remember
it raining in May the past 12 years.
It rained this year.
Almost everyone at the breakfast table
was unhappy about this.
Almost everyone.
One smartly dressed businessman
bounced into the room,
exclaiming how wonderful the rain was.
And it was…for him.
The man was a roof installation salesman.
When better to sell roofs
than when it was raining?
Someone profits from every situation.
