    Who told the children about the sun's retreat?OR
    Why did the girl wail?
    Ans : In the midst of their running, children didn't realize that the sun was retreating. Suddenly a girl wailed and everyone stopped. She was standing in the open and as soon as she held her hand out she asked everyone to look at it. There was a single raindrop which meant that it was the time for the sun to retreat. The girl began to cry because the long-awaited moment came to an end very soon. Few cold drops fell on their noses and cheeks and their mouths. A cold wind began to blow and the sky darkened.
