In both the featured story and on the set of the show "Star Trek: the Next Generation" (which LeVar also stars in), we learn how TV shows are made and how actors in costumes and special effects can make imaginary things seem real.
How do you envision the rain or any kind of weather? Some of the things to ask about in this show of weather legends. When LeVar's plans of attending a picnic and softball game are derailed by a downpour, he decides to stay home to read a few books instead. James Earl Jones reads "Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain", an African story written in the style of "The House That Jack Built," about how one action leads to another to help bring water to a drought-torn region.
This looks like an extension of the previous episode, but it is a separate venture. LeVar appears in proper attire for an English Renaissance festival. Ralph Waite reads the fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin, about a poor miller's daughter who is stuck between a greedy king and a conniving elf to get out of a difficult situation.
LeVar seems to have a lot of things going wrong for him as he spends a day in the park, causing lots of different emotions. In an animated feature, a group of school children read poems about feelings and how to deal with situations. In another profile, LeVar introduces Koko the Gorilla, who learned to communicate through American Sign Language.
