You can't fly kites on rainy days

Back when Hally was a little boy, Sam had made him a kite. This memory is brought up occationally through-out the play “Master Harold”...and the boys.
Both Hally and Sam obviously had a good time making the kite and finally made it fly. It was a sunny day, a good day for flying a kite. In the middle section of the play Hally suggests that it’s time to build another kite, but Sam replies “No, you can’t fly kites on rainy days.”

It is in fact raining outside, but I wonder if Sam can sense and predict the hostility that is coming – If he really means that you have to get along and be friends to achieve goals together. That it is impossible to cooperate unless we respect each other.
