The Cloud Painter

Leo looked up at the fluffy white clouds drifting across the blue sky. He sighed, 'If only I could paint on them!' Just then, a gentle breeze brought him a tiny, rainbow-colored paintbrush.

Leo waved the brush at a cloud. To his surprise, a golden swirl appeared! 'Wow!' he gasped. He painted a big, red smile on another cloud. The cloud grinned back at him.

Soon, Leo painted a giant ice cream cone, a purple elephant, and a castle with pink towers. Birds chirped and flew through his cloud art. The sky became his canvas.

But then a big, gray storm cloud rolled in. 'Oh no!' cried Leo. The gray cloud gobbled up his colorful pictures. Leo felt sad, but he had an idea.

Leo painted a bright yellow sun right on the storm cloud. The sun beamed and melted the gray away. Then he added a rainbow that arched over the whole town.

People looked up and cheered. Leo saw his dream had made everyone smile. The tiny paintbrush glowed warmly in his hand.

That night, Leo painted a giant, soft moon and a thousand twinkling stars on the dark clouds. 'Goodnight, dreamers,' he whispered, as the whole world fell asleep.
