Tuesday, a bright, warm morning. You come down in a T-shirt. Karen stands at the door with an umbrella. "You must take it." Findus doesn't want to go out, and that means rain: the best forecast in town. Sofie says Karen is always right. Almost always.

Karen
Godmorgen. Hvor skal du hen uden paraply?
Good morning. Where are you going without an umbrella?
På arbejde. Men vejret er dejligt! Sol og tyve grader.
To work. But it is lovely! Sunshine, twenty degrees.

Men der er ingen skyer. Heller ingen vind!

Outside, Sofie is putting the café tables out on the pavement.

Åh, så har du brug for en paraply.
Oh, then you need an umbrella.
Findus sits on the windowsill, perfectly dry, looking at the sky.
Half past five. You come home soaked to the skin. Karen is already at the door with a towel.
Du havde ret, Karen. Det regner. Jeg er helt våd.
You were right, Karen. It is raining. I am completely wet.
