When it Rains it Rains a River

The short story When it Rains it Rains a River was pretty confusing but a pretty accurate story detailing what its like to be a young man. The confusing half lays mainly its descriptions of various activities that they do. This is shown mainly in the first paragraph where the protaganist (possibly the older brother) describing what they do when it rains. "Us brothers, we love mud. We sing and we sing until the rain stops falling down."  So it's clear they're relatively young and this is another bonding excperience that they have.

It's just in the second half where a mountain called 'Girl' is built. I thought that was kind of a metaphor for when young boys go through puberty. But it also kind of just felt like another activity that they do in the rain...
