text: When I woke up it was not raining and the sky, though slightly covered with early morning mist, looked promising. Indeed soon the clouds parted and the sun stood brightly in the victoriously shining blue. Rarely have I greeted him more gladly. Quickly I rushed to the village where the palms still had long shadows and the rain-soaked jungle glistened in a hundred different shades of green.
