For sun = s. For rain = r. For some rain = b (ein Bischen = a little). and to test her in this matter, I questioned her as to the last few days--here she answered correctly. Then I began: "What about to-day?" Lola replied: "b" ( = it is raining a little). I now felt sufficiently encouraged to ask her concerning the days ahead, and received the following answers: For 3 May = s (sun). For 4 May = s (sun). For 5 May = b (some rain). For 6 May = nein (no = don't know). I told these forecastings of Lola's to several friends who, like myself, were watching the weather with anxiety. Rightly enough! the sun shone on 3 May; on that very day therefore I continued putting my questions--and Lola again prophesied: For 6 May = r (rain). For 7 May = b (a little rain). On the next day, 4 May, the sun shone once more--as she had said it would, and in the afternoon I asked her: "How do you come to know the weather, Lola? How do you do it?" "Raten" (guessing). In astonishment I said: "From whom have you got that word?" "Dir" (from you) "Have you heard me say it?" "Yes!" On the 5th there were a few drops of rain, and on the 6th two hours' heavy downfall, but on the 7th it was dry and sunny, so that it may be that I had taxed her powers of anticipation beyond their limit, for I had asked her far in advance of the 3rd. From time to time she then continued to give me "advance information" as to the kind of weather to expect, two days or, at most, three days were the test put, and for some time I was able to fully rely on her forecasts, and would arrange my work accordingly, being careful not to cut or mow when Lola had prophesied _rain_, etc.
