Question

one must save for rainy day

Answer 1

I could never really figure out what we were supposed to save for a rainy day. An umbrella? A windcheater? Maybe it was gum boots or some special kind of clothes. I had no clue. And I wondered why these items were to be saved for a rainy day; we didn't use them when it didn't rain anyway. Why did they warrant saving? As you can imagine, I had a childhood with troubles over grave issues. But as is almost always the case, we grow up wiser. I did too, learning exactly what 'saving for a rainy day' meant, in my late teens.
