Throughouthistory,peoplehavewrittenaboutanimalrains.Som...

Throughout history, people have written about animal rains. Some records from about 2,000 years ago tell about fish and frog falling from the sky. There is one place where animal rain is common. In the city of Yoro, in Honduras, fish fall from the sky in May or June every year. The fish are small and silver-colored. They are even still alive. People can collect the fish to eat. But where have the fish come from?

There are some theories (理论) about animal rains. Some researchers say the fish are fresh water fish. The fish are also all blind. This leads them to believe the fish usually live under the ground, they would not need to see.

Another theory held by most researchers is that water spouts make most animal rains happen. A water spout is a tall stream of water that the wind pulls up from the sea during a violent storm. Water spouts are strong enough to lift small animals, like fish, from the water. So during a storm, a water spout gathers fish from the water into clouds. Then the clouds travel across land, following normal weather movements. Finally, the storm ends. The fish drop to land.

However, this theory does have some problems. Many people do not believe the rain of fish in Yoro comes from a water spout. That is because most animal rains do not happen often---or a year after year. But the rain of fish in Yoro happens every year, near the same time. And it has happened for over 100 years in this way!

People may never know the scientific reason behind Yoro’s rain of fish. But the people of Yoro do not need a scientific explanation. They call it a miracle (奇迹).
