A Cloudsmen Story for Kids

Cloud-Castle Cumulus

Once upon a time, in the mystical realm of the Skydome, where the Cloudyfolk lived high up in the clouds, there was a great gathering at Castle Cumulus. The Cloudsmen were assembled around the Cloud Table, and at the head of it sat the proud and boisterous King Cumulus Cloud-fellow, his reddish-white beard flowing in the gusty wind.

.

“Listen up, ye Cloudyfolk!” he bellowed, “Our clouds are thinning, and we must find a way to inspire more clouds to form. We cannae afford to lose our precious sky domain!”

.

The Cloudyfolk murmured amongst themselves, a mixture of concern and determination on their faces. Queen Cumula Cloud-lady, with her fluffy and golden streaked hair, stepped forward, her voice firm yet caring.

.

“Aye, we need to think of the present and future, for the clouds are the very essence of our being. We must unite the clans and put away our long-held differences. Only together can we face the changing skies,” she declared.
