A few weeks ago, Robbi wrote a blog post about sun showers, which happen when it’s sunny and rainy at the same time. This is beautiful, of course, but it’s also very rare, which is why all sorts of cultures throughout time have come up with interesting explanations for what a sun shower means. Because, when things are beautiful and rare they must be more than just a coincidence, right?
A lot of the stories had to do with weddings between different types of creatures, such as bears, hyenas, or one-eyed jackals.
Alden was inspired by the Sudanese version, which involves a monkey getting married to a donkey.
Notice that these nuptials may have been of the shotgun variety, given that their monkey/donkey offspring has attended the ceremony.
Regardless of circumstance, this baby is likely to be stubborn and also quite fond of bananas. It is likely to have a big old donkey head and hang from trees by its tail.
Which are two things you’re not expecting to see together when you’re walking through the forest.
Kind of like sunshine and rain.
