As they walked he said again:
“Kone, it will rain!”
“It will not,” Kone said. Then he turned to the mountains and shouted:
“Rain, stay on the mountains! Rain, stay on the mountains!”
“No use, Kone; rain will come.”
Soon the rain began to fall in torrents.
Kone thought that Tamate had brought the rain by stronger magic than he himself could use. He said:
“You are a great chief, and so am I, but the rain has listened to you.”
“Come, my friend, I have told you of the great and good Spirit and of His power.”
But Kone only laughed.
