[EDIT: removed the unneeded grain]

There's an old phrase in Polish, "to desire something like the kite wants the rain" - with an archaic word "dżdżu" used for "rain". The Polish word for red kite is the same as for a species of wild mushrooms and usually modern speakers think of mushrooms, which generally love the rain. In fact, they're wrong. The proverb refers to red kite's call, somewhat similar to Polish word "pić" (peeeeeeeeeech!), which in this context means "plox give me something to drink" or "gee I'm thirsty".
No one's going to tell me now that my ancestors were not imaginative and inventive with their language ;-)
