The narrator walks through a garden filled with a peculiar light that emerges after a rainy day. Although the sun shines and the sky clears, it seems too late to bring relief. The earth gives a sound akin to a sigh as the final raindrops fall. Meanwhile, a small boy, filled with wonder, questions his mother about the phenomenon he witnesses in the sky.

The boy's innocent curiosity is met with a harsh response from his mother, emphasizing a disconnect between childlike wonder and adult frustrations. This moment captures the essence of Beckett's exploration of communication barriers and the complexities of human interaction amidst the beauty of nature.
