Just after a heavy rain, the ground was soaked and muddy. It was impossible to go out to work the land. They had to stay indoors, waiting for the sun to dry the ground, and then go back to the fields to tend to the crops. Some people didn’t want to stay indoors and, as soon as the rain stopped, wanted to go out for a stroll. The woman named Gu stood at the doorway, looking at the wet ground and the patchwork of blue sky that was gradually clearing, wanting to go out for a walk but not knowing where to go.
There was another woman, just like Gu, who didn’t want to stay indoors when the rain stopped. But she was different from Gu. As soon as she saw the rain stop, she immediately thought of something she could do. This was something that could only be done right after the rain and couldn’t be done once the sky was completely clear—not because there wasn’t time, but because even if there was time, it couldn’t be done.
