Mortgage over-due. Bank Balance in negative.
John is sitting on his dry land that has disintegrated due to lack of rains.
Now he has only one hope.
That his continuous bawling, sobbing could wet his land with the hope that he could reap the crops and gain his self-respect.
Politics and Weather lead to the loss and debt.
While continuing with his sobs, he felt a few trickles.
Looked around, to no luck!
Looked up to see Nature joining him in his cry.
That made him euphoric since Mother Nature's whimper is a blessing in disguise.
