Two strangers, one tiny bus-stop roof

Two strangers are squeezed under a tiny bus-stop roof. The first drop knocks a quack out of Pi. After that every drip gets a xylophone note, so she stomps her rain boots and he taps his umbrella tip. A big umbrella finish soaks Pi, and they laugh. When the bus comes, she knocks three times on the window, he answers with three umbrella taps, and Pi plays the last note.
