The rain brings down with it a certain quietness. There is a noticeable absence of squawking
from the crows. Even neighborhood dogs
seem content to snooze instead of bark during a gentle rain. Perhaps, beyond the elements that make up a
water molecule, there are silent additives, heretofore undetected by scientists
and chemistry teachers.
These miniscule sound-deadening molecules, once striking an
object, spin out a spiderweb-like blanket of non-noise. This affects the insect world, until of
course, it stops raining. It is at that
point we are again able to hear the insects, and the chirp of local birds.
It is these sound-deadening additives in water that allow ventriloquists to drink while successfully operating their puppet.
Think about it. It
makes sense.
