Luna: I like that image. నీళ్లు కక్కుతున్నారు. Okay, I will remember that. Lucas: Good. Now, what if it hasn't rained yet? What do we hope for? Luna: In agriculture, farmers wait for rain. We might wish for it. Lucas: Correct. Here is the phrase for rain coming or desired. Lucas: వానలు రావాలి.... వానలు రావాలి. Luna: వానలు రావాలి. Should come rains. Or let rains come. Lucas: Exactly. It expresses a desire for rain. Useful for summer days. Luna: Let me try that one. వానలు రావాలి. Does it sound hopeful? Lucas: It does. You sounded very sincere there. Luna: I felt it.
