[Rain pittering]
Cousin Hodie says, AWW! LOOKS LIKE WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING FUN TODAY, DONKEY.
Donkey says, MM, MAYBE THE RAIN WILL STOP SOON.

Donkey waves and says, BYE-BYE!
Cousin Hodie says, BYE! WOW, YOU GET YOUR WEATHER FROM A BIRD?
Donkey says, YEAH! AND RAINY DAYS ARE WEATHER BIRD'S FAVOURITE.
[Sad music plays]
Cousin Hodie says, WELL, THEY'RE NOT MY FAVOURITE. RAIN MEANS...NO HODIE BALL…OR COUSIN'S SWIM.
Donkey says, OH, I KNOW YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED. SOMETIMES, I CAN'T DO ALL THE THINGS I WANNA DO, EITHER.
Cousin Hodie says, MM.
[Rain pittering]
Donkey says, BUT, INSTEAD OF FEELIN' SAD, I TRY TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO HAVE FUN.
Cousin Hodie says, OH! YOU THINK WE CAN FIND OTHER WAYS TO HAVE FUN IN THE RAIN?
Donkey says, OH YEAH! I, DONKEY HODIE, WILL FIND FUN THINGS TO DO IN THE RAIN. HMM...

Both chant, RAIN STORM, BRAIN STORM, THINK, THINK, THINK!
[Laughing, Donkey gasping, rain pittering]
Donkey says, OH! I SEE SOMETHING FUN WE CAN DO IN THE RAIN!
Cousin Hodie says, OH, WHAT?
Donkey says, PUDDLE KER-SPLASHING! HEH HEH!
Cousin Hodie asks, WHAT?
Donkey says, KEEERRRRRRR...SPLASH!
Donkey runs and jumps into a puddle.

Cousin Hodie says, YEAH, RAIN STORM, BRAIN STORM!
They dance and spin.
[Rain pittering, playful music plays]
Both chant, RAIN STORM, BRAIN STORM, THINK, THINK, THINK!
[Cousin Hodie gasping]
Cousin Hodie says, OH, OOH! I'VE THOUGHT OF SOMETHING EXTRA FUN TO DO IN THE RAIN! FLOWERS SMELL EXTRA FLOWERY IN THE RAIN.

[Panda chuckling]
Panda says, HI! JUST HAVING A GRAPE JELLY SNACK.
[Rain pittering, Panda giggling, gasping]

Donkey says, HA! WELL, WE'RE NOT DONE WITH THE FUN YET, CUZ!
Cousin Hodie says, RIGHT! LET'S RAIN STORM, BRAIN STORM!

Both chant, RAIN STORM, BRAIN STORM, THINK, THINK, THINK!
Donkey says, HMM... OOH, I KNOW! SOMETIMES GRAMPY AND I SIT ON HIS PORCH AND READ WHILE IT'S RAINING. IT'S SUPER COZY.
Cousin Hodie says, YEAH!
In a flashback, Donkey and Grampy sit on a porch swing.
[Gentle music plays, rain pittering]
Gramp reads, "ONCE UPON A TIME, IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF MAKE-BELIEVE, KING FRIDAY WONDERED WHY IT WAS SO QUIET. QUEEN SARA SATURDAY TOLD HIM THAT EVERYONE HAD GONE TO SOMEPLACE ELSE!"
Donkey says, I LOVE THIS STORY, GRAMPY.
Grampy says, MM HMM!
The flashback ends.
Donkey says, LET'S READ A STORY!
Cousin Hodie says, YEAH!
[Upbeat music plays]
Donkey says, SEE YA, PANDA!

[Chuckling]
Panda says, AHH.
Panda picks up a jelly roll.
[Munching, gulping, content sighing]

[Pages rustling]
Duck Duck reads, "ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE LIVED A DONKEY IN A PLACE CALLED SOMEPLACE ELSE."
An illustration in the book shows a grey donkey walking on a stone path.
[Soothing music plays]
Cousin Hodie says, HEY, THAT'S GRAMPY WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER!
Duck Duck says, YEP-YEP, IT IS.
Duck Duck reads, "ONE DAY, AFTER A BIG RAIN STORM, THE DONKEY SAW A RAINBOW. BUT IT WASN'T JUST ANY RAINBOW! IT WAS A BOUNCING RAINBOW!"
An illustration shows a rainbow bouncing from hill to hill.
Cousin Hodie asks, A BOUNCING RAINBOW?!
Donkey says, OH YES, I LOVE THIS PART!
Cousin Hodie says, HUH!
Duck Duck reads, "THE RAINBOW BOUNCED ON A HILL! THE RAINBOW BOUNCED OFF A WINDMILL! THE RAINBOW BOUNCED IN THE PARK! THE RAINBOW BOUNCED SO MUCH THAT IT BOUNCED ITSELF RIGHT INTO THE GROUND!"
Cousin Hodie says, HAW HEE!
Donkey says, HEE HAW!
Duck Duck reads, "THE DONKEY ALWAYS WANTED TO REMEMBER WHERE THE RAINBOW BOUNCED INTO THE GROUND, SO HE PLANTED A SEED IN THAT SPOT, AND A TREE IMMEDIATELY SPRANG FROM THE GROUND! AND THAT TREE BURST WITH COLOUR!”
An illustration shows young Grampy looking up at the rainbow-coloured leaves of a tree.

Cousin Hodie says, HAW HEE!
Donkey says, HEE HAW!
Duck Duck reads, "THE DONKEY ALWAYS WANTED TO REMEMBER WHERE THE RAINBOW BOUNCED INTO THE GROUND, SO HE PLANTED A SEED IN THAT SPOT, AND A TREE IMMEDIATELY SPRANG FROM THE GROUND! AND THAT TREE BURST WITH COLOUR!”
An illustration shows young Grampy looking up at the rainbow-coloured leaves of a tree.
[Soothing music continues]
Duck Duck reads, “THE DONKEY KNEW IT WASN'T AN ORDINARY TREE. IT WAS...A RAINBOW TREE! AND FROM THAT DAY ON, AFTER EVERY RAIN STORM, A RAINBOW BURSTS FROM THE RAINBOW TREE, BATHING SOMEPLACE ELSE IN BEAUTIFUL COLOUR."
Duck Duck says, THE END.
Donkey and Cousin Hodie say, AHH!
Cousin Hodie says, HAW HEE, THAT WAS A GREAT STORY! OH, I WISH I COULD SEE THE RAINBOW TREE BURSTING WITH COLOUR!
