There
once was a czar in Russia whose name was Rudolph the Great. He was
standing in his house one day with his wife. He looked out the window
and saw something happening. He says to his
wife, "Look honey. Its raining."
She, being the obstinate type, responded,
"I don't
think so, dear. I think it's snowing." But Rudolph knew better. So
he says to his wife,
"Let's
step outside and we'll find out." Lo and behold, they
step outside and discover it
was in fact rain. And Rudolph turns to his wife and replies," I knew it
was raining. Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!" The Week Before Christmas
