Now, if you've read the story about Mr Science, you'll know that he built a machine to enter a parallel world, where things are a little different. And some people there are quite the opposite of people here.
Mr Science carried on with his work, and frequently travelled to the parallel world, to meet his counterpart there, Mr Magic. One day, Mr Magic told Mr Science that there was a Little Miss in his world, who could do with some help.
-----
Down, at the bottom of a gloomy lane, within a gloomy forest, lay a gloomy cottage. It was quite gloomy and dark, though it wasn't yet time for bed. Somebody was in that cottage, but you would have thought whoever lived there may have turned the lights on, rather than sit in the darkness.
This was the home of Little Miss Rainfall.
-----
Little Miss Rainfall sat in her dimly lit cottage, staring into space. This was how she spent a lot of her time. She didn't go out very much, didn't speak to many people, she didn't want people to know she was there.
Now, looking at Little Miss Rainfall, you might recognise that she looks like another Little Miss, Little Miss Sunshine. Little Miss Rainfall was not sunny in the slightest.
In fact, she was very depressed indeed.
-----
Her phone rang. Now, usually, when a phone rings, you or me would go to answer it.
Little Miss Rainfall didn't. She left it to ring and ring.
"Probably a wrong number. Nobody thinks I'm that important. Must be for somebody else. Nobody wants to speak to me." she thought to herself.
The phone kept ringing for half a minute and then stopped.
-----
Mr Magic placed the receiver of his phone onto the handset and turned to Mr Science.
"She's not answering. I hope she's ok. I wonder if she's out. Hmm."
Out of Mr Magic's pocket came a wand, and he drew a circle infront of him, while chanting some magic words. It was a window into Little Miss Rainfall's gloomy house and Mr Magic could clearly see her sitting there, looking very unhappy indeed.
Mr Science took a look.
"It would seem that Little Miss Rainfall is too unhappy to answer her phone! Maybe we could pay her a personal visit."
-----
Mr Magic agreed that they should go together to see Little Miss Rainfall.
One swift journey aboard a magic carpet later, and Misters Magic and Science arrived at Little Miss Rainfall's gloomy house.
Mr Science knocked on her door and waited. Moments later, they heard the sound of a key unlocking the door, which opened.
There before them stood the lonely, sorrowful figure of Little Miss Rainfall.
"Hello," she said, "Are you lost or something?"
-----
"Um," replied Mr Science, "I'm Mr Science and this is Mr Magic. We've come to pay you a visit. We both wondered if we could be of assistance to you. May we come in?"
"Ok." said Miss Rainfall, "I don't know why you want to help me, though. I'm not worth anybody's help."
Mr Science replied, "We would just like to talk to you for a little while."
"OK then. Come in." asked Little Miss Sunshine, gloomily.
-----
Inside, Mr Science explained to Little Miss Rainfall that he was from a parallel universe and that his counterpart here was Mr Magic. He talked about the many counterparts between these worlds.
"... And basically," Mr Science continued, "I would like to take you to visit our world. You have your opposite there too."
"She's probably always happy. She probably wouldn't want to meet someone like me. I'm not worth your trouble. I'm sure that she will be much better off to never meet me."
-----
A day later, after a few more telephone calls, there was another knock at Miss Rainfall's door. She went to open it, and there standing before her was Little Miss Sunshine!
Little Miss Rainfall stood there, totally speechless.
"Mr Science told me about you and I wanted to come and see you." said Little Miss Sunshine.
"Why am I getting all of this attention now? I was never important to anyone and I'm not now. You're wasting your time." Miss Rainfall gloomily replied.
Little Miss Sunshine still smiled infront of her, despite her gloominess.
"I just want to talk. I've never met anyone like me from a parallel universe before!" she said.
-----
Little Miss Rainfall gave in and let Little Miss Sunshine into her gloomy house. Everything was dark and grey here, and you could feel the loneliness and despair from just being here.
They sat down in the lounge with cups of tea (Little Miss Sunshine turned on the lights) and began to talk.
Little Miss Sunshine told her, "I drove all the way down here in my car. I just about managed to get it through Mr Science's portal! I want you to come with me, so I can show you my world, I think you will like it. There's lots of things to see."
"OK." replied Little Miss Rainfall.
-----
Miss Sunshine added, "There are so many places to visit, like Cleverland, Nonsenseland, Happyland and Fatland."
"OK." replied Little Miss Rainfall.
Little Miss Sunshine talked a bit more about her world and eventually, however reluctant that Miss Rainfall was, she packed and got into Little Miss Sunshine's car and they drove off.
-----
Later on, and one careful drive through Mr Science's portal later, they had a walk through Cleverland. It was a place quite unlike a place that Miss Rainfall knew in her world, Dizzyland!
After talking to a number of very clever (and talkative) animals, Little Miss Sunshine thought she noticed a smile from Little Miss Rainfall.
The birds there had all come together to sing a song for her!
-----
After that, both of the Little Misses took a drive to Fatland for lunch with Mr Greedy and Little Miss Greedy.
When they arrived, Mr Greedy announced "I'll show you all the meals that cheer me up!"
Now, being greedy sort of people, both of the Greedies were very speedy cooks (it was the only real way that they burnt off any calories) and quickly put together a huge range of meals, that smelt lovely and tasted gorgeous!
As you might have guessed, Mr Greedy and Little Miss Greedy ate most of the food, Little Miss Sunshine had some, but, Little Miss Rainfall only managed a little.
But, again, Little Miss Sunshine thought she noticed a smile from Little Miss Rainfall!
-----
After lunch, and leaving the Greedies to fill a rather large dishwasher, Little Miss Sunshine took Little Miss Rainfall to see Mr Funny.
Now, Mr Funny thinks he has the ability to make anybody laugh out loud. When they arrived, Mr Funny tried his funniest to make the pair of them roar with laughter!
He told his best jokes, he made the funniest faces, even a little magic act for the pair of them.
But only Little Miss Sunshine was roaring with laughter. Though, Little Miss Sunshine thought she noticed a smile from Little Miss Rainfall!
-----
Their next stop, and their last stop here, was in Happyland, at Mr Happy's house. Mr Happy had brought along a friend of his, Mr Miserable. Though, when you had Mr Happy and Mr Miserable together, they looked exactly alike, for it was the magical properties of Happyland itself which turned Mr Miserable's frown into a large grin.
Mr Happy asked whether Little Miss Rainfall was feeling any happier from being in Happyland.
Little Miss Rainfall still looked very unhappy indeed.
-----
Little Miss Sunshine took Little Miss Rainfall home, feeling rather let down that she couldn't make Miss Rainfall happy. But Miss Rainfall said something. Usually she wouldn't speak first.
"I guess this is the way I normally am. You're always happy, and I am always sad."
But Miss Sunshine explained, "I'm not happy all the time. Nobody is. Sometimes I feel sad too. But when I feel sad, I like to do my favourite things to feel better. If I can't, I like to talk to someone about what is troubling me."
"But nobody wants to talk to someone who is sad though.", replied Little Miss Rainfall.
"That's not true at all. There is always someone who will want to speak to you, even if you are really feeling the worst you have ever been. And you can always talk to me!" Miss Sunshine explained.
-----
Little Miss Sunshine dropped Miss Rainfall back at her house. She didn't want to leave Miss Rainfall there on her own, but she needed to return home herself.
-----
You may have thought that this was the last you would hear of Little Miss Rainfall. Well, she was still very unhappy at times, but she certainly did not return to her old ways.
In fact, shortly after Little Miss Sunshine arrived back home, her telephone rang. It was Little Miss Rainfall, just wanting to have a chat!
And the moral of the story is, if you are feeling down, or indeed very very down, there are no magic tricks to make you happy, but you must never ever suffer in silence!
