An elderly couple decided it was time to take an overseas vacation and thought they’d visit Russia. So, the man called ahead and booked travel, their hotel, and tours. Upon their late-night arrival, they checked into their hotel and planned to start touring the magnificent land first thing in the morning.
On morning’s first light, the man jumped out of bed and excitedly drew back the blinds for his first glimpse of this new land. But to his dismay, he saw that it was precipitating outside. Frustrated, he dialed up their Russian tour guide, Rudolph, and explained that because of the sleet outside, they wouldn’t be able to start the tours that day.
Rudolph tried to calm the man saying, “Sir, it’s not a problem. It’s just a little rain.”
“It’s sleeting,” the man exclaimed. “We can’t go.”
“No, really sir,” Rudolph continued, “it’s really just a little bit of rain. It will be okay.”
The man nearly shouted, “I insist it’s sleeting! We can’t go!”
Thrusting the phone at his wife, he said, “Edna, tell the man it’s sleeting!”
Edna gently laid her hand on his arm and softly said, “No, Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear.”
