April 1 Rain began at magd ming thing really plainly in the rain and I was in the open air, I was standing on a hill side and I could see the light of the sun shining through the clouds. The sky was very dark and heavy, and there was a great wind blowing. I had been walking for some time, and I was tired and wet. I thought I would go to the nearest town and stay at an hotel. I walked on for some time, and then I saw a light in the distance. I went towards it, and found that it was a small village. I entered the village and asked for an hotel. They told me there was no hotel, but that they could give me lodging at their house. I accepted their offer, and they took me to their house. They gave me a warm fire, and some food, and I felt very grateful to them.
