 The Little Cloud Who Couldn't Cry - Educational Stories

Once upon a time, high up in the big blue sky, lived a little cloud named Nimbus. Nimbus was a fluffy white cloud, smaller than the other big, grey rain clouds.

The big clouds would sometimes rumble and shake, and then they would cry big, fat raindrops. The rain would fall down to the earth, watering the flowers and trees. Nimbus watched them, wishing he could cry too. Can you make a rumbling sound like a big cloud? Rrrrrr…

One sunny day, the big clouds gathered together. They became dark and full of water. Soon, big raindrops started to fall. Drip, drop, drip, drop. Can you pretend your fingers are raindrops falling down?

Nimbus tried his best to cry, but no raindrops came out. He felt like he couldn't do what the other clouds could do. He felt a little bit left out. Have you ever felt like you couldn't do something that others could?

Down below, in a field of colorful flowers, a little girl named Lily was playing. She loved the sunshine, but today, her flowers looked droopy and sad.

Lily looked up at the sky and saw the big clouds raining. "Oh, thank you, rain!" she said. But the rain wasn't reaching her little flower garden. It was falling in the field next door.

Nimbus watched Lily looking sad at her dry flowers. He really wanted to help. He tried and tried to make raindrops, but nothing happened.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze came along and started to blow Nimbus towards Lily's garden. Nimbus felt himself moving. He wasn't making rain, but he was moving over the dry flowers.

As Nimbus floated over Lily's garden, he grew just a little bit bigger. He wasn't making rain, but he was giving the thirsty flowers some shade from the bright sun.

Lily looked up and saw the little white cloud covering her flowers. "Oh, thank you, little cloud!" she said with a smile. "Your shade is helping my flowers feel cooler."

Nimbus felt happy. He might not be able to cry rain like the other clouds, but he could still help in his own way by giving shade. He learned that it's okay to be different, and everyone can be helpful in their own special way. Can you think of a way you can help someone without doing exactly what they do?

From that day on, Nimbus was happy to be a little white cloud. He knew that even though he couldn't cry, he could still bring a little coolness and comfort to the world below. 

The Moral of the Story: It's important to remember that everyone has their own unique ways of helping and being kind. We don't all have to be the same to make a difference.
