Clarence wonders...Can the wind make him fly? Do the clouds taste good? One day he is so busy wondering, he nearly walks past the tap. The sign says "RAIN". It used to say "DRAIN", but the "D" has worn off. He wonders...if he turns it, will it rain? As the rain teems down, Clarence meets the marvellous man who owns the tap: the Rainmaker! He asks Clarence to take over and shows him the tricks - and drips - of the trade. Clarence is a natural but can he make it stop?
