Explanation:

 "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" is a short story by American Indians compiled by the anthropologist Kenneth Rosen. It tells the story of the death of an old man Teolilo from the Laguna Pueblo tribe. Soon after the body was discovered by his grandson Leon and Ken, the husband of Leon's sister, they began preparing for it's burial. The story revolves round the conflicting spiritual traditions of the Indians and the Christian religion. Here, Leon doesn't think it is necessary to inform the local priest about his grandfather's death as the burial traditions aren't even similar. So, when his sister suggests that Father Paul sprinkle holy water on Teolilo, he only agrees because of the reason provided by Loiuse that their grandfather may not be thirsty in the afterlife. This is evident in the above dialogue where he said that he's come to the Father only to ask for the holy water and nothing else.
