“Do you know why the phrase raining cats and dogs exists? It's such a unique way of describing a heavy storm, even though there is no direct correlation to cats or dogs at all. In fact, yes, in fact, famous etymologists still struggle to interpret it. Fascinating, isn't it?

Think about it. Outside; in the downpour, are people waiting for it to finish, and just one thought comes to mind: why cats and dogs? What led the old ancient minds to compare one such anomaly with another, more alien?

I, for one, have a marvelous amount of theories and assumptions to make on such a subject. Would you be interested in hearing them out?

Good! I’m relieved that a man of your caliber would be interested in debating with me on the arts of our long-lost ancestors. One might say that I find you to be as cultured as I. But then we reach upon the initial predicament, do we not? For we have no true viable way of deducing as to why such a phrase came to be. I may have my reasons, but who is to say that they are, indeed, the truth and nothing but the truth?

I see you are getting restless. That’s good! That shows promise and dedication; that means you have an inherent interest in knowing the answer and it’s my duty to relieve you of that.

Oh? You just want to go back to Trick 'r Treatin’? I don’t see how that’s possible with a downpour such as this. Truly, is my company not better for now as we wait for it to finish?

Well, I don’t see how that’s my problem. You asked me a simple question: Trick 'r Treat?. I’m delivering you your treat: a trivia that would enlighten you forever!

Sick? I am not sick. You may be though with that attitude of yours. What’s the harm in two gentlemen engaging in fine chatter, over a nice evening of cats and dogs raining all around us? I would offer you tea but you seem to not like my courtesy. It’s a shame because the cup you broke was such an antique one too…

Mhm, no haha! I don’t expect us to agree on everything! Debates are the key to solving discords, communication is salvation! Is what we are doing right now, not such a blissful moment?

No?

You disappoint me, but that’s alright. You just sit here, in the dark while I go find BETTER company. I hope you realize what you did wrong by the time I return. I expect better manners, or else…"
