00:00In Thailand, people tell a story about why storms happen.
00:03It's about Mekala, the goddess of lightning, and Ramasun, the god of thunder.
00:08Mekala has a magical crystal that shines like a star.
00:11It's so bright that it lights up the sky.
00:14Ramasun wants the crystal, so he chases Mekala.
00:17He throws his axe to try and catch her.
00:19But Mekala is too fast.
00:20She moves away and flashes her crystal, blinding him.
00:24The bright flash of her crystal becomes lightning.
00:26The loud crash of his axe is thunder.
00:29As they chase each other in the sky, rain falls to the earth.
00:33This old story reminds us that every storm will end and the light will always return.
