Benny the bear cub loved lying on his back and watching the sky. He’d name the clouds and imagine they were animals or cakes or soft pillows.
One puffy cloud always lingered above him. Benny named it Puffle. Every day, they’d drift together Benny on the ground, Puffle in the sky.
But one day, Puffle turned grey.
Why are you sad? Benny asked.
I’m not sad, Puffle rumbled gently. I’m full of rain… but I don’t want to scare you.
Benny thought for a moment. “Rain helps plants grow. You don’t scare me. Go ahead!
With a grateful sigh, Puffle let the rain fall. It pitter-pattered on Benny’s nose, danced on the flowers, and filled the stream. Birds splashed joyfully. Benny spun in circles, laughing.
When the rain stopped, a rainbow arched across the sky. And Puffle was back to being fluffy and white.
Moral: Not all grey clouds bring storms. Sometimes, change is necessary — and with it comes growth, colour, and new joy. Don’t be afraid of the rain; it’s just the sky helping things bloom.
