(a) Lencho's house was situated on the crest of a low hill in the valley. The whole day he sat seeing the sky because he knew his fields needed downpour or at least a shower, so he was waiting to see the signs of rain. (b) Anne wanted to keep a diary because she felt that people change and can't be trusted but paper doesn't change and patiently documents one's experience.
