The Cloud Who Was Afraid of Crying
A heartwarming tale about a young cloud named Nimbus who struggles with the fear of showing emotions. Nimbus embarks on a journey to understand that crying is okay and that courage lies in embracing one's feelings.
Nimbus was a small, fluffy cloud who lived high in the sky. Unlike other clouds, Nimbus wore a bright bow and had a secret. Nimbus was afraid of crying, or as clouds do, raining. Every time Nimbus felt sad, he held back his tears. " - What if everyone laughs at me?" Nimbus often thought.
Nimbus spent his days floating above the towns and fields below. One day, he noticed a thirsty flower wilting in the garden. " - I wish I could help," Nimbus sighed. But the fear of raining stopped him from letting his tears fall. The flower drooped further, and Nimbus felt helpless.
Nimbus decided to seek advice from the wise old cloud, Stratus. " - Why are you afraid to rain?" Stratus asked gently. Nimbus explained his fear of being laughed at. Stratus nodded understandingly and said, " - Emotions make you strong, not weak." But Nimbus wasn't convinced.
Nimbus tried to follow Stratus's advice, but doubts lingered. He watched other clouds rain freely, watering trees and flowers. " - I wish I could be brave like them," Nimbus whispered to himself. But the fear of being judged kept him from trying. He floated away, feeling discouraged.
One day, Nimbus heard a commotion below. A group of children were playing in a sunny meadow. The sun was shining brightly, but the children needed shade. " - If only I could rain," Nimbus thought, " - I could help them." But fear still clung to him like a shadow.
Nimbus drifted away to a quiet part of the sky. He tried to muster the courage to rain, but the fear of showing his emotions was overwhelming. " - Maybe I'll never be brave," Nimbus sighed. He felt like giving up, the thought of courage seemed so distant.
As Nimbus pondered, he noticed a rainbow forming in the distance. It shimmered with hope and colors. " - Why are you so beautiful?" Nimbus asked the rainbow. The rainbow replied, " - Because I embrace the rain and the sun. Courage is letting yourself shine, Nimbus."
Inspired by the rainbow's words, Nimbus felt a newfound strength. " - Maybe I can be brave," he thought. He returned to the thirsty flower in the garden. Nimbus took a deep breath and finally let his tears fall. Raindrops gently fell onto the flower, reviving it with life.
The flower straightened, its petals shining with dew. Nimbus realized that crying wasn't so bad after all. " - Thank you, Nimbus," the flower whispered, " - You've saved me." Nimbus felt a warmth in his heart, knowing he'd made a difference. Courage was in feeling, not hiding.
Nimbus floated back to Stratus, a newfound confidence in his heart. " - I did it! I rained!" Nimbus exclaimed. Stratus smiled warmly and said, " - You found your courage, Nimbus." Nimbus learned that showing emotions was a sign of strength, and he was no longer afraid to cry.
