Mister Gloomingdale has been in a foul mood so long that he can't remember how it started. All he knows is that the cheerful creatures that live around him don't improve his situation, but he feels that their happiness only aggravates it.
An opportunity at a wishing well leads to him wishing that all sunshine and cheer will disappear, as long as he's in a bad mood.
Like all good monkey's paw effects, his wish backfires, leaving a torrential downpour over his head every time he leaves the house. To make things worse, his wish has caused a drought everywhere else, creating a perilous situation that only he can fix.
