Ma Thae Phyu hates the rainy season. She gets scared

when it rains heavily. So she hides in the corner of the
classroom. The teacher notices this and asks Ma Thae
Phyu why she is afraid. Ma Thae Phyu replies that she
is afraid because she has heard other people say that
the big Daywaw comes when it rains.

Ma Thae Phyu thinks about the water
cycle – how the sun’s heat evaporates
water into vapor, and then rains.
She thinks she will find the Daywaw
on the next page.
But she only sees
green trees
and plants.

a rainbow and pretty clouds. She reads the
entire book but does not see the Daywaw.

Ma Thae Phyu closes the book and goes out of the
library. She looks up to the sky and sees birds flying
under the rainclouds. The birds are not afraid of
Daywaw too, she thinks.

Her mother says Daywaw is actually an angel.
People scare children with Daywaw because
they do not want the children to slip in the rain
and get hurt.

Mom, Daywaw is very cute. He creates beautiful
things for the world. Ma Thae Phyu calls out, “Hey,
Daywaw!” She looks at the rainbow and is happy.
