The Little Cloud Who Tried

4 min 15 sec

In a bright blue sky lived Puffy, the smallest cloud in all the heavens.
Every morning, the big clouds drifted proudly across the sky, painting magnificent shapes for children below.

Puffy wanted to join them, but when he tried to puff himself up, he only managed a tiny wisp that looked more like a cotton ball than a dragon or a castle.
The other clouds laughed kindly and told him not to worry, but Puffy felt his silver lining droop.

Trying your best is all anyone can ask, he reminded himself, and it always feels good to try, so he took a deep breath of sunshine and floated higher.
The next day, the sky needed clouds to make a rainbow for a sad village.

Seven big clouds lined up, each taking a color, but when they counted, they realized they were one short.
Puffy floated forward, trembling.

I will try, he squeaked.
The big clouds exchanged doubtful looks, yet the rainbow must be finished before sunset.

Puffy squeezed between indigo and violet, concentrating with all his might.
He remembered how the sun felt on his water droplets, how the wind sang through him, how the earth smelled of growing things.

A soft pink blush crept across his fluffy cheeks, then spread into a delicate rose hue.
The village children gasped and pointed, clapping with delight as the first pink stripe ever seen shimmered in the sky.

Puffy beamed so brightly that his edges glowed gold.
From that day on, whenever the sky needed something gentle and new, the big clouds called for Puffy first.

He practiced every dawn, learning to reflect sunrise peach, twilight lavender, and even brave streaks of silver during storms.
Sometimes he still wobbled, sometimes he drifted off course, yet each time he tried, he discovered he could hold a little more color, a little more light.

Years passed like gentle breezes, and Puffy grew into a wise little cloud who taught brand new wisps the secret: trying your best is all anyone can ask, and it always feels good to try.
One summer evening, a sudden dry wind swept across the valley, blowing the big clouds far away on urgent business.

Only Puffy remained, small but determined, floating above a garden where tiny seedlings drooped with thirst.
He thought of the village children who had believed in his pink stripe, of the joy that trying had brought.

Puffy closed his eyes, summoned every memory of color, every cheer, every clap, and did something no one expected.
Instead of growing bigger, he split into a thousand tiny pink droplets, each one sparkling like a miniature star.

Down they drifted, gentle as butterfly kisses, watering every thirsty plant.
The garden bloomed overnight, painting the valley in grateful blossoms that smelled of hope.

When morning came, the big clouds returned, amazed to find Puffy smaller than ever yet surrounded by a soft pink halo that shimmered with every shade he had ever tried.
They asked how he felt after giving away so much of himself.

Puffy twirled happily, his silver lining brighter than sunshine.
I tried with all my heart, and the earth smiled back, he sang.

The wind carried his words across farms, forests, and towns, reminding children everywhere that even the smallest effort can color the world.
That night, as stars blinked awake, Puffy rested peacefully, smaller than a teardrop but glowing with every hue he had ever practiced.

Somewhere below, a child looked up, saw the faint pink shimmer, and felt brave enough to try something new.
And high above, Puffy dreamed of tomorrow’s colors, knowing that trying your best is all anyone can ask, and it always, always feels good to try.
