This was in our English course textbook.

Not exactly this, but the main story revolved around a farmer whose farm was ruined by a swarm of locusts. He tries to get help from God and this happens.

Anyways, it was our last year textbook and it's standard textbook here and every school following this study pattern will have to use these books only after 9th grade, so everyone will read it at least once if they decide to go through this patter (major examination and study pattern in out country)
