Athena
In Shakespeare’s day, too much rain was as dangerous as a drought when it came to crops and livestock
Ralph
That’s right, Athena. If things got too wet, crops could rot and wash away... and livestock could get mired in the mud and drown.
Athena
Which, as Titania points out, is good for the crows, but not so good for the sheep and the farmers
Ralph
Titania’s also pointing out that the flooding is getting in the way of people having fun, too.
Athena
Nine men's morris is a game similar to tic-tac-toe and can be played on a grid pattern scratched onto a patch of ground.
Ralph
And so the constant rain has ruined that game for everybody.
Athena
And the mazes Titania mentions are just paths through the grassy fields that could also be used for games ...like races along the paths.
Ralph
And all of these problems because Titania and Oberon aren’t getting along.
