How We Went to the Wedding `` If it were to clear up I would n't know how to behave , it would seem so unnatural , '' said Kate . `` Do you , by any chance , remember what the sun looks like , Phil ? '' `` Does the sun ever shine in Saskatchewan anyhow ? '' I asked with assumed sarcasm , just to make Kate 's big , bonny black eyes flash . They did flash ; but Kate laughed immediately after , as she sat down on a chair in front of me and cradled her long , thin , spirited dark face in her palms . `` We have more sunny weather in Saskatchewan than in all the rest of Canada put together , in an average year , '' she said , clicking her strong , white teeth and snapping her eyes at me . `` But I ca n't blame you for feeling sceptical about it , Phil . If I went to a new country and it rained every day -- all day -- all night -- after I got there for three whole weeks I 'd think things not lawful to be uttered about the climate too . So , little cousin , I forgive you . Remember that ` into each life some rain must fall , some days must be dark and dreary . ' Oh , if you 'd only come to visit me last fall . We had such a bee-yew-tiful September last year . We were drowned in sunshine . This fall we 're drowned in water . Old settlers tell of a similar visitation in ' 72 , though they claim even that was n't quite as bad as this . '' I was sitting rather disconsolately by an upper window of Uncle Kenneth Morrison 's log house at Arrow Creek . Below was what in dry weather -- so , at least , I was told -- was merely a pretty , grassy little valley , but which was now a considerable creek of muddy yellow water , rising daily . Beyond was a cheerless prospect of sodden prairie and dripping `` bluff . '' `` It would be a golden , mellow land , with purple hazes over the bluffs , in a normal fall , '' assured Kate . `` Even now if the sun were just to shine out for a day and a good ` chinook ' blow you 'd see a surprising change .
I feel like chanting continually XXXXX old rhyme I learned in the first primer , ` Rain , rain , go away , Come again some other day : -- some other day next summer -- Phil and Katie want to play . '
