The Tower of Babel

Our eldest son is sick, so obviously one of the gods is displeased.  But which one?  We go see the priest / shaman / witch doctor to find out which and what they want to be appeased.  Turns out it’s the local weather god who was unimpressed with last year’s harvest offering from our family, I knew that we should have given more.  This is bad.  So we take a duck to the temple to be sacrificed, I hope it works.  A fortnight later the boy is worse, so we take a goat along, now that hurts because we needed that goat – that will do it surely.  No change.  What do we do now?
