Synopsis
Deng hated the fact that his mum always asked him to look after his baby sister, Nyankor, when it was raining. Rainy weekends were the times for fun with his friends near their favorite mango tree by the forest.
When it kept raining, and he couldn’t join his friends for a play-in-the-rain-merriment, Deng cursed the rain out of innocence and anger. Little did Deng know that his cursing the rain would set in a series of mind-boggling events. Soon the drought set in, a crow started talking to him and Deng thought he was losing his mind.
The crow assured Deng that he (Deng) wasn’t losing his mind. Who’d believe anyone who claims to talk to crows anyway? Deng first avoided his friends (Ochang, Aluel, Nyakong, Nyoka and Lado) for fear that they might make fun of him. Deng then confided in his neighbor, an old lady named Nyan-nhial. However, Deng realized that Nyan-nhial was playing him by being politely evasive.
As the crow started stalking Deng, Deng’s friends angry that he’d not confided in them and the rain not raining, Deng had a huge task on his hands. What would Deng do?
