The Legend of Rain
Once upon a time, there lived a Cloud family. Papa Cloud, Mama Cloud and the Cloud children lived quietly in the sky.

Lody, the youngest Cloud child, looked impatient. He could not wait for his turn to come. His brother, Tody, didn’t like his attitude. Suddenly, they quarreled. Their white bodies became grey. It meant they were very angry. When the clouds were angry, water usually came out of their bodies. It meant rain for the people on Earth.
“Stop it, children! Stop fighting!” Papa Cloud said.
