The Little Cloud Who Could

2 min 26 sec

High above the village of Loomin, a tiny cloudlet named Puff lived among the grand sky giants.
While the others billowed proudly, Puff was no larger than a lamb.

When the Sky Shepherd announced the Great Rainbow Race, every cloud prepared to stretch and shine, but Puff’s shadow barely covered a rooftop.
“I’m too small,” Puff sighed, yet deep inside a warm voice whispered, “Try anyway.”

That night Puff practiced drifting, turning, and glowing, but each attempt ended in clumsy puffs of mist.
The mocking wind whooshed, “Save yourself the bother, peanut!”

Puff quivered, yet the warm voice returned, “Believe in you.”
On the morning of the race, the sky blushed pink as clouds lined up across the horizon.

Puff took the far edge, heart thumping like a drum.
The trumpet sun shot a ray and they were off.

The huge clouds surged forward, thundering across the blue.
Puff flapped and fluttered, slipping through their trailing veils, steadily moving.

Halfway through, a fierce storm giant blocked the path, lightning flashing in warning.
Most clouds turned back, fearing tears.

Puff hesitated, feeling raindrops prickle.
Then Puff remembered the warm voice, breathed in, and zipped beneath the giant’s swirling cloak where no lightning reached.

Emerging on the other side, Puff saw the finish line shimmering near the sun.
The other giants still wrestled the storm, so Puff sailed onward, each breeze pushing kindly.

As Puff crossed the ribbon of light, the Sky Shepherd appeared, beaming.
“Smallest of all, yet first to finish,” he declared.

The warm voice now boomed inside Puff, “See what belief can do?”
From that day, whenever children in Loomin looked up, they smiled at the brave little cloud who proved that size matters less than heart.

Puff’s silver lining sparkled brighter than any medal, a gentle reminder that confidence lives inside us like hidden sunshine.
And every evening, as rosy dusk painted the sky, Puff practiced again, ready for tomorrow’s race, knowing the greatest victory is believing in yourself even when things seem hard.
