Something Is Wrong!
Poof was a little cloud with one very important job: RAIN!
But one morning, Poof looked down at the village. He squeezed his eyes shut. He puffed himself up. He tried REALLY hard.
Nothing happened. Not even one tiny drop.
"Oh no," whispered Poof. "I forgot how to rain!"
Poof Goes to Cloud School!
"Today's lesson," said the teacher, "How to Make Rain."
Poof raised his hand.
"Yes, Poof?"
"I FORGOT."
The whole class gasped!
The Rain-Making Machine!
1
Put in water
Poof did!
2
Add a little wind
WHOOSH!
3
Press the blue button
BOOM! A giant bubble flew out.
"Oops," said Poof.
Bibi Has an Idea!
Poof floated down to the village and met Bibi.
"Why are you looking so worried?" she asked.
"I can't rain anymore."
Bibi thought for a moment.
"Maybe you're not broken. Maybe you just need to remember what makes rain."
Let's Find the Rain!
💦 Fountain
Splash!
🌊 River
Swish!
🥥 Coconut
POP!
👨 Mr. Mango
"HEY!"
The Great Water Parade!
"Maybe rain isn't just about clouds," said Bibi.
So everyone brought water!
Villagers
Carried big buckets!
Birds
Carried tiny cups!
Frogs
Carried enormous spoons!
Mr. Mango
Brought a BATHTUB. "I like being prepared."
Poof Remembers!
Poof watched everyone laughing. He felt something warm inside.
🌸 Rain helps flowers grow
🌊 Rain fills the rivers
🌍 Rain cools the earth
💃 And sometimes... rain makes people dance!
Poof began to glow.
Rain! Rain! Rain!
Poof puffed himself up. He wiggled. He shook.
He sneezed —
"ACHOOOO!"
🌧️ RAIN! 🌧️
Down came the rain! Everyone cheered. The frogs danced. The flowers twirled.
Mr. Mango flung open his bathtub. "FINALLY!"
The Rainbow Appears!
The rain stopped. The sun peeked out.
And across the sky appeared... a HUGE RAINBOW!
Poof stared. Bibi smiled.
"You remembered."
Poof smiled back.
"I think I remembered because everyone helped me."
🌈 The End. 🌈
