There was a Russian man named Rudolf who lived with his wife in a suburb of Moscow. One day Rudolf looked out the window of the apartment and said, "It's raining."

His wife looked out and said, "Nyet, it's sleeting."

"Nyet, dushenka, it's raining," Rudolf insisted.

"How can you be so sure?" his wife asked.

"Rudolf the Red knows rain, dear," he replied.
