I used to believe that birds couldn't fly in the rain because I had watched a cartoon with fairies and mischievous where fairies couldn't fly because they had wet wings. For me this law applied to birds too. One day, I saw a bird fly when storm and I said to myself "What? But how does he do to fly in the rain?". And it's the way that I understood.
