L'orage favorable
Language: French (Français) after the Chinese (中文)
Je maudissais la pluie qui faisait résonner mon toit et M'empêchait de dormir Je maudissais le vent qui saccageait mon jardin. Mais, tu es arrivée ! Et j'ai remercié la pluie, puisque tu as dû ôter ta robe Mouillée et j'ai remercié le vent, qui venait d'éteindre ma lampe.
