In
September the rain finally arrived. Before that, we.......... (had had)
three years of dry weather Day after day the sky.......... (had been) blue and
almost no rain ..........(had fallen). We......... (had not seen) any water in the
river for over a year and the fields......... (had turned) brown. So when the
rain came, we were very relieved. We were lucky that the dry forests
........(had not caught) fire. Many of our sheep ...........(had died), but the farm
.......(had survived).
