Условие

Some people suppose that if there are bubbles on the surfaces of water pools during the rain, the rain will be long, but others think they are a sign of the close end of the rain. [33] Who is right?

Note [32]

“Weather forecast” in the Russian and Belarusian versions, “Rain bubbles” in the Slovak and the 1992 English texts, “Figures” in the 2006 English version

Note [33]

Wording varies across versions. The Russian text uses the word «лужа», standing for shallow rain puddles, not larger water pools. “On the surface of a puddle there are figures”, according to the 2006 English version, not mentioning the bubbles at all
