Tio always looks like a black rain cloud. That's why Carlos calls
him Uncle Rain Cloud. He's been really angry since the family moved
to Los Angeles. Carlos' parents work long hours so Tio must walk
Carlos to school. He must also do the shopping. His English
is very limited but he won't let Carlos help him read the labels in the
store. At night, Tio relaxes and tells Carlos stories of Mexico.
Carlos loves the stories and wishes Tio would act this way all the time.
Why is Tio so angry all the time? Is there anything Carlos can do
to help? Will Tio let him? Find out as we spend time with UNCLE
