Ava loved to watch clouds float by. She always imagined shapes—bunnies, castles, dragons—forming and changing as the sky danced with the wind.
One lazy afternoon, as she lay on the grassy hill, she whispered, “I wish I could paint clouds and make them pretty.”
The sky responded with a soft breeze that tickled her cheeks.
Suddenly, a swirl of fluffy clouds gathered above her, forming shapes as if they were listening.
A soft voice echoed from the sky. “Do you wish to paint with us?”
Ava’s eyes widened. “Yes! Can I?”
A cloud shaped like a swan drifted closer. “I’m Nimbus,” it said gently. “I’m the Cloud Painter.”
Ava sat up, eyes sparkling. “Can I help paint you with colors?”
“Of course,” Nimbus smiled with a soft rumble. “Come, let’s spread dreams.”
With a soft leap, Ava floated up into the clouds, which felt soft and cool like cotton candy. She giggled as the wind carried her higher and higher.
“Use your imagination,” Nimbus whispered. “Each color holds a dream.”
With a paintbrush made of light and soft clouds, Ava brushed bright streaks across the sky—pink like roses, gold like sunshine, blue like calm lakes, purple like sleepy dreams.
As she painted, the clouds began to sparkle. Birds flew through streaks of color, leaving trails of glitter. A gentle rainbow arched across the sky, smiling down at Ava.
“What do clouds dream about?” Ava asked with wonder.
Nimbus chuckled softly. “We dream of carrying messages of love, of guiding the rain, and of making the sky a beautiful place for all eyes.”
Ava’s heart filled with joy. “Can I paint clouds every day?”
Nimbus smiled warmly. “Whenever you believe in magic, the sky will welcome your dreams.”
As the sun began to set, painting the clouds in soft orange and purple hues, Ava waved goodbye to Nimbus.
“Thank you for sharing the sky with me!” she whispered.
The clouds danced softly, forming hearts and stars that twinkled like wishes.
Back on the hill, Ava smiled at the sky. “The clouds are my friends now,” she whispered.
That night, Ava dreamed of painting clouds with soft colors, floating among birds, and creating rainbows that smiled back at her.
