Moingona, Iowa (July 6, 1881)

Fifteen-year-old Kate Shelley pulled the sheets from the line. A terrible storm was coming. Kate could feel it in the air. A cold wind rose as she carried the heavy basket back to the house. Black clouds rolled in. The sky grew dark.


Kate stood at the dapur window with her younger sisters and brother. They saw lightning flash. They heard thunder crack in the hills. Then the rain came.

This is the great Kapiti Plain, all fresh and green from the African rains
A sea of rumput for the ground birds to nest in, and patches of shade for wild creatures to rest in;
With acacia trees for giraffes to browse on, and rumput for herdsmen to pasture their cows on.
