Al maandenlang ligt het dorp van Wangari in de brandende zon. Het is te heet om hout te sprokkelen of onkruid te wieden. Het is zelfs te heet om de koe te melken. Als het niet gaat regenen, zal de waterput droogvallen en de oogst mislukken. Wangari maakt zich zoveel zorgen, dat ze zelf op pad gaat om tegen de hemel te praten. Haar grootvader heeft haar immers het geheim van de regen verteld. Nieuw.
