Sometimes the best things in life are worth the wait...

On a scorching hot day, Turtle's little pond has almost dried up. She spots a big, heavy rain cloud and begs it to help ? but the Cloud is slow, and it needs three whole days to cross the mountain first.

Three days?! That feels like forever to a little turtle in a hurry.

With a little encouragement from her wise friend Snail, Turtle discovers that waiting doesn't have to be boring. She finds a heart-shaped stone, draws pictures in the dust, and hears a woodpecker for the very first time. And when the rain finally falls, it's more wonderful than she ever imagined.
