Text Appearing Before Image:
shall not forget thee till the end of my life. 49 VI THE GOOD THUNDER Folks say that Rai-den, the Thunder, is an un-loving spirit, fearful and revengeful, cruel to man.These are folks who are mortally afraid of thestorm, and who hate lightning and tempest; theyspeak all the evil they can of Rai-den and of Rai-Taro, his son. But they are wrong. Rai-den Sama lived in a Castle of Cloud sethigh in the blue heaven. He was a great andmighty god, a Lord of the Elements.
