In a drought stricken county town the store plans to pray for rain. The parson promises aid. The next day the sun heats, clouds form, and gentle showers arrive. By week’s end floodlike rain resurfaces parched fields as residents endure dusty roads. The tale ends with a heated exchange between the minister and a deacon.
