00:00Rugged, what is it?
00:25It's the heart of a raindrop.
00:26I didn't know raindrops had hearts.
00:28What you see is a speck of dust magnified 200 times.
00:33Every raindrop starts with water in a cloud condensing around a speck of dust.
00:38When a drop gets big enough and heavy enough, it starts to fall out of a cloud as rain.
00:44Excuse me, sir.
00:46Did you say rain?
00:48Uh-huh.
00:49Good.
00:50You may be just the one we need.
00:52Please follow me right away.
00:58I've waited six weeks, and you haven't made a drop of rain come down.
01:08And for that, you shall go to the dungeon.
01:13Wait, your highness.
01:14I'll make rain for you if you won't put him in the dungeon.
01:16Well, what kind of wizard are you?
01:22I am a scientist, not a wizard.
01:24I know something about rain.
01:26The wizard just guesses.
01:28Very well.
01:30You may make rain for our kingdom.
01:33But you must be quick about it, or our crops and animals will all die.
01:39Have your subjects dump a thousand wagon loads of dust on the south hill.
01:45But we want rain, not a dust storm.
01:49I seed the clouds with dust particles.
01:52Then raindrops grow around them.
01:54Very interesting, Cadwallader.
01:56Order all the wagons in Rue to be loaded with dust and taken to the south hill without delay.
02:04Yes, your highness.
02:06Yes.
02:09How is this going to get the dust up into the clouds, Gumby?
02:24I'll show you.
02:26First, I place this nozzle on a pile of dust.
02:32Now, this is my dust generator and disseminator.
02:36I just flip the switch, and we're in business.
02:39Those clouds are going to get awfully dirty.
02:47As soon as we have scattered all this dust in the clouds, we'll go back to the castle and wait for the rain.
02:55Your highness, King Ott, the clouds are seeded.
02:58Now, we wait a short while for the raindrops to grow.
03:01Oh, jolly good.
03:04Cadwallader, have a feast prepared to celebrate the coming of the rain.
03:09Oh, I can hardly wait.
03:11How much longer do we have to wait, my scientific friend?
03:15Well, it should start raining any minute now.
03:18Oh, goody.
03:36I want to be the first to feel those precious drops.
03:40Oh, marvelous, marvelous, delightful little drops.
03:50You feel so good.
03:53Cadwallader, start that feast immediately.
03:56Cadwallader, start that feast.
04:00But, your majesty...
04:02Are you hurt?
04:06Are you bleeding?
04:08Me?
04:09Hurt?
04:10Bleeding?
04:11Why not?
04:12It's red mud.
04:14It's raining red mud.
04:17Quick, stop it.
04:18Before we're ruined.
04:20Um, it's impossible to stop it, Your Highness.
04:24Put all fake scientists into the dungeon.
04:30I'm getting out of this book.
04:32Gumby can take care of himself, being a scientist and all.
04:42Your Majesty, the palace and dungeons are full of mud.
04:46Oh, what has become of my kingdom of Rue?
05:09Oh, mud, nothing but mud.
05:14I now rule the poorest, muddiest kingdom in the world.
05:20Eureka, Your Highness, you have the richest kingdom in the world.
05:24Rich in mud, yes.
05:27But what good is mud except for mud pies?
05:32Your Highness, this mud is very rich in iron.
05:35You can make all kinds of things of iron.
05:37Nails, hammers, plows, pots, kettles, wheels, knives, forks, spoons, and thousands of other things.
05:42Jolly good, you are right.
05:46Get water, get that feast ready.
