Summary of “Rain, Rain, Go Away” by Isaac Asimov:

Lillian brings up observations to her husband about their new neighbors, the Sakkaro family. Her husband, George, is more focused on the television than the details of their neighbors’ lives. For a while they discuss the fact that the Sakkaros are always focused on the sky and leave when it look likes it might rain. George tells Lillian that he heard from their son, Tommie that they were from Arizona (“Arizona, or maybe Alabama some place like that”). As George continues watching the television, Lillian tells him that she’s going to become acquainted with Mrs. Sakkaro. The following day Lillian announces that the Sakkaros agreed to go with them to Murphy’s Park. Although George isn’t interested she also describes how clean their house was and how sanitary Mrs. Sakkaro was (when she served the water). Lillian also tells George more about their odd cloud watching habit-Mr. Sakkaro checked all the newspaper for the weather reports and only agreed to go when they said the weather would be ‘fair’. Later on they pick up the Sakkaros, who all have some sort of equipment with them to track the weather (pocket-radio, aneroid barometer). The ride to Murphy’s park is unusually pleasant and the sky shows no sign of bad weather. After paying for the tickets, Lillian finds George sitting alone. He is now as curious as his wife and says that they’re not from Arizona. They talk more about the Sakkaros but eventually leave to meet them at the refreshment stand. The Wrights and the Sakkaros eat cotton candy then enjoy rides and games at the park. After sometime they stop to eat again. Both Lillian and George note that the Sakkaros have eaten nothing but cotton candy and that they refuse any other food. They find it odd but dismiss it. They see that the sky is cloudy now and the Sakkaros insist that they need to leave. The Wrights try to comfort them but they are persistent. The ride back is uncomfortable and tense as the Sakkaros are immensely fearful. They drop off the Sakkaros and watch as they race to their home. Lillian starts to comment on their odd fear of the rain but is interrupted by the storm starting. She finishes her comment as the Sakkaros melt away in the rain.
