#2 Pit Makes Rain

On a fine day, Bob’s telephone rang.

Bob picks up the phone, “Hello?... Yes, Pit,... really?... Alright, I’ll be there in a moment.”

Bob puts down the phone and dashes over to Pit’s house. He was excited. Pit had asked him to join in a secret project too secret to be revealed over the phone.

When Bob reaches Pit’s house, Pit is busy filling up buckets and buckets of water in his garden.

“What’s this all about?” asked Bob, trying to catch his breath.

“The sky! It’s dry!” exclaimed Pit in a hushed voice.

“So?”

“So??? We have to do something before it’s too late!” said Pit.

“How can I help then?” asked Bob nervously.

Pit ran frantically into the house. Appearing moments after and pressed into Bob’s palm a small knife.

Pointing to the large container in the car boot, Pit said, “Peel these buckets of water and put them in the container!”

Bob was stunned at the immensity of the challenge. “Peel so many buckets of water? It’ll take days!!” he thought to himself.

“Pit, how about using a blender instead?”

“Sorry bob, that’ll be too fine. We need it to be just the right size. Quick, the sky is dry!”

Pit dashed back into his house to get another knife and the two started to peel water like seasoned army personnels peeling potatoes.

Once the container in the car boot was filled. Pit and Bob jumped in and drove off to an open field. There, Pit took out his enormous kite and tied it to the container. A gust of wind blew and the container went up into the sky. As the kite climbed the sky, the container spilled its content all over the sky. Pit’s idea worked! The home made rain drops were just the right size to produce a cloud for a light shower!

“The sky is no longer dry!” Bob exclaimed in wonder.

As a token of appreciation. The sky drew a rainbow.

“Haha, a colourful upside down smile!” said Pit.

“You’re welcome sky!” shouted Bob.

The sky, drenched in the goodness of water, still kept its dry humour.
