rain storm

The method of cooking squirrels (dji`'temo) has an influence upon the weather forces. Squirrels are usually cooked by splitting the carcass, after it has been skinned, and roasting it in the flames until done.

Should the animal however, be boiled instead, it will bring rain. When rain is needed, squirrels are boiled purposely to bring it.
