Long ago, through the mists of time lived Dee Gree, the Seeker, who constantly sought answers to questions. Why, where and how were the words he lived by. The answers to his questions provided many benefits to his people.
Dee Gree had a daughter Mercury, a truly wonderful child who had a very special power. Mercury could predict the weather. She could tell when it would rain, when the sun would shine, or as was most often the case, when it might do a little of both.
Dee Gree was very fond of Mercury and fairly imagined that the sun rose and set upon her. However, misfortune befell the Seeker. One tragic day an unexpected and extremely violent storm arose, and poor Mercury, even though she had seen it coming, was swept away in the torrent and drowned.
Dee Gree was overwrought but he vowed that he would find the answer to Mercury's power, and thus prevent similar tragedy for his people. His fevered quest caused great upheaval in the land. He sought high, he sought low, he sought everywhere for weeks and months without rest, until finally Mother Nature itself, wishing for some peace and quiet shouted at Dee Gree, "Go Climb a Tree".
Dee Gree in his fervour heard "Climate Tree" and was reminded of the special tree with the finger like branches growing by his daughter's bedroom window. After much study and contemplation Dee Gree saw the answer, up for the sun and down for rain. At last he understood his poor daughter's secret.
It should be noted that since the time of Dee Gree, history records that no man's daughter has been swept away who had the wisdom to have a 'Weatherstick' attached to his door and paid heed to its message.
Now you too can obtain some degree of insight into what tomorrow's weather will bring with the aid of a 'Weatherstick'.
