The Man to Send Rain Clouds Summary

In 'People who sent rain clouds', the old Theophilus died while the sheep was released. His grandson Leon and Ken found him and ordered a ceremonial funeral. Ken's wife Louise proposed to let the priest priest, Father Paul sprinkle holy water, so that Teiofilo is not thirsty.

Ken and Leon found Teo Firo collapsing under the tree. His sheep has left and two people must surround them before they arrange the correct funeral.

Ken and Leon decided not to join the local priest Paul, so Christians would not interfere with their funeral traditions.

But Ken 's wife Louise stated that Father Paul sprinkled holy water as his grandfather was not thirsty. This makes Leon happy, he thinks that Teofilo will undoubtedly bring big rain clouds to them.

The title "People Sending Rain Clouds" shows that Pueblo believes that the deceased is related to rain clouds. The narrator has repeatedly mentioned the rite of the grave of India and the history of the people of Pueblo. The title of the story was taken from traditional prayer where the Indians pass through the rain clouds and pray for the spirit of the deceased so that the crop grows and the community is not hungry. For Pueblo, death is not the end of existence but part of the cycle that the human spirit returns to its source and then returns through rain clouds to help the community. Pueblo drew the face of the deceased so that he can be recognized in the next world. They also sprinkle water to disperse the corn and to provide food and water for traveling to other worlds. It is important to mention it since the Catholic Church's 'Dian Castle of the Spain' represents the history of encounter with Pueblo's first Christianity.
