A very long time ago - Thunder and Lightning didn't live in the sky. They lived right in a village on the west coast of Alkebulan- called Africa today. Thunder was a mother sheep and Lightning was her son. Ma Sheep Thunder and Son Ram Lightning began summoning Rain by racing through the mountains at the King's request. But Son Ram Lightning gets into mischief--butting people, munching on straw hats in the marketplace, and accidentally setting a fire. The exasperated King finally banishes mother and son to the sky, where they live today except for occasional earthly forays in which frisky Lightning strikes anything in his path and his mother runs after him, calling him back home.
