Once upon a
time, there was
a cloud called
Cirrus.
|
She enjoyed
playing with her
other friends
clouds.
One day, Cirrus
decided to go
out on her own.
She flew for a
long
time...
The little cloud
passed by a farm
where the
|
animals looked
so thin because
they had nothing
to eat. A cow
saw the little
cloud passing by
and asked: |
— Oh, dear cloud,
can you please
help us? Can you
please spare
some rain?
Cirrus tried,
but wasn’t able
to provide them
with rain. She
felt said and
decided to go
away.
|
|
She then found
another spot
where the plants
were quite dry.
They said: |
— My dear friend
cloud, could you
please spare
some rain? We
are quite
thirsty.
Cirrus then
said:
— I will try my
best!
She tried, and
tried.... but
nothing.... She
wasn’t able to
let a single
drop come
down...
She then found a
river which was
quite dry. It
then asked her:
— Oh, dear cloud!
I am so dry the
plants are dying,
the animals are
feeling quite
thirsty but I
can’t offer any
water to them.
The fish are
also dying
because of lack
of water. Can
you please help
me?
Cirrus felt even
more sad. She
wanted to help
others so much,
but how? She was
so small!
She thought for
a long time....
and then made a
decision:
— I know what I
am going to do!
I am going to
ask for
help!
She walked
around... and
found other
clouds. She
explained the
situation to
them, who then
said:
— We can’t do
it! We rely on
the wind.
Cirrus decided
to talk to the
wind and see if
he wanted to
help.
He said he
wanted to, but
could not do
much on his
own.
— Why is that? —
Cirrus asked.
— I rely on God
to give me
strength.
Cirrus then
praied to God
and asked for
help.
The wind was
suddenly feeling
stronger and
heavier. The
clouds were then
flying with the
wind. They got
heavier and
heavier until
they reached the
region were
there was lack
of water.
|
The rain started
to fall from the
sky. It was a
massive party!
The plants, the
fish and the
river were full
of joy. They all
thanked God for
the help — rain
is a blessing
from the sky!
We are all small,
just as the
cloud Cirrus but
with everyone’s
help and God’s
blessing we can
achieve many
things.
|
If we all help
each other, we
will be happier
and make others
around us
happier. Jesus
will also be
happy with us
since He wishes
us to love one
another.
