Syal ko Bihe by Chhabilal Kopila

Why does it always rain on Fox’s wedding day? Who makes the rains come? And will Fox get married?

A famous Nepali children’s rhyme tells us that when it is sunny and rainy at the same time, it means that somewhere a fox is getting married. This story is the Tharu answer from Dang as to why the weather is so confused at a fox’s wedding and what all the animals do right before it rains!
