Some time passed and I was about to leave the bar when it began raining. I (wait) 7 for ten minutes, but the rain not (stop) 8. It was very strange because there (be) 9 no clouds in the sky and yet it (rain) 10 hard. I could not go out as I not (take)11 an umbrella with me. I expected the rain (stop) 12 soon as it (rain) 13 for half an hour already. But then I thought that I (may)14 be late and left the bar. I walked a few steps and then stopped in surprise. There (be) 15 no rain. All the time I (sit) 16 in the bar, there (be) 17 no rain at all! But not far from the front door of the bar an elderly woman (sit) 18 comfortably on a chair. She (hold) 19 a hose* linked to a tap. She was watering the pavement in front of the bar. The barman wanted people (stay) 20 in his bar as long as possible and his trick worked with me as well.
