In the olden days, thunder and lightning lived on the earth amongst all the other people. But the king made them live at the far end of the town as far as possible from other people’s houses. Thunder was an old mother and lightning was her son, a ram. Whenever the ram got angry, he used to go about and burn houses and knock down trees. He even did damage on the farms. Whenever Ram did these things, his mother used to call out to him in a very loud voice to stop and not to do any more damage when he was in a bad temper, he used to do despread damage.
At last, the people could not stand it any longer and complained to the king. They requested the king to banish both lightning and thunder from the earth and make them live in the sky where they could not cause so much destruction. Ever since, when lightning is angry, it commits damage as before, but you can hear his mother, thunder, rebuking him and telling him to stop.
