"Why don't you get out of the rain?", a young voice asked an elderly man as he slouched under his torn umbrella. He turned and looked in the direction of the adolescent voice. He stared.
"I enjoy the sting of the cold water on my face", replied the old man. "Why do you cower under a roof?"
"I don't like the rain."
"Rain can free your soul. There is too must to dislike in this world... and rain shouldn't be one of those things. Water is vital to all life on this planet. Without the rain we wouldn't have trees, flowers, or vegetables. Without these we couldn't breathe, understand the beauty and compassion of God, or eat to stay alive and enjoy this wonderful gift we call Life. It would change the world if every man, woman, and child understood the astonishing power of water. It would change the world...."
