Spoiled

Last June it rained two days; the rain was not heavy and it was not cold. It was a pleasant relief after the stifling heat of Venice. But my Portuguese friends, who do not know Venice, complained bitterly. What terrible weather! I smiled. How is the winter? I asked. Awful! they said. It rains cats and dogs. Look outside, it’s just like this. Yuck!

There is only one conclusion: the Portuguese have been spoiled by their divine weather.
