Martin
Hope
Inmate number seven unfolds the umbrella and holds it over his head and steps out of his ward every evening,thinking that it would rain."Somehow,Number 7 was hopeful of the rain that evening as well."
He gives hope to the child he imaginary sees in his sleep that he will be by the child's side when disturbed by the unpleasant dream.

The barber knows that Number 7 is interested about the rain and thus ask him if it will rain and he gives him hope that it will rain soon.
He tells the puny little fellow to stop being pessimistic and believe that it will rain soon."......I thought you believed in hope and Nature's miracles.Don't you believe that someday it will rain here and that the earth will turn moist and smell of wild flowers?"In the end his hope is fulfilled.It rains,even though this happens at night.
