Throughout the reading we are constantly reminded about how the country is in debt and how the poor in comparison to the members of the government are described as  “rats” and their quality of life is unmatched. From the beginning to end we are shown that the situation goes from bad to worse, starting with several debts that not even global organizations want to support or help until the dissolution of the country. It discusses topics of scarcity, social classes, incapacity (government), inequality, corruption, etc.

I found it confusing whether the realness of the so-called “cows” was true or just a metaphor, or maybe what it meant is that everyone puts themselves out to help but at the end they are just words. Maybe the cows highlight corruption as a topic, because as we all know they never send them cause the country next door would probably steal them.

Then the rain starts, making what was worse into a horrible situation, but here comes the “brilliant” or what i like to call “what did you do before coming up with that, next time i’ll go with u”, idea. Different circumstances brought the last person to do something unthinkable but what at that time someone else demanded. They created a strategy, first send a woman that fitted the top beauty standards as seller to the possible buyer, second only tell him about the “good” and how it was always green, a paradise in other words, incredibly sell the idea. 

IT WORKED!!! yeah I know (i couldn’t believe it either), but as we know something awful had to happen, the rain magically stopped and things got bad again, people started seeking their “same past life” but in another place, the country issues start to look a lot like in the first one and after finishing the story I thought to myself how blind I was, that i didn’t know from the very beginning that the city that “bought” the rain was indeed that neighbour.
