Lesson 20

Question SA-5. Here is the text reference (p. 203/1):

Suddenly, large isolated drops of rain began to spray the road, and he could hear, far off in the distance, on the slopes of the hills, the cries of the shepherds who were gathering up their flocks, fearful of the tempest. The riders stepped up their pace to reach shelter, but they had no time: behind the first large drops, the wind whipped the clouds, bringing violence to the jungle until they reached the valley, and sped down and threw themselves on the wet blankets of haze. The first lightning flashes illuminated the landscape, as if they were the explosions of a mad photographer who was taking snapshots of the storm.
