00:00Hey everyone, and welcome to our story time.
00:04Today, we are going to meet a very special little hero.
00:08High up in the big blue sky, there floated a tiny cloud named Pico.
00:14He was as soft as cotton and as white as a snowflake.
00:19But Pico had a little secret.
00:21He was scared of big, loud storms.
00:24The thunder made him tremble, and the lightning made him hide.
00:29One sunny morning, Pico drifted over a small village.
00:34He looked down and saw that everything was dry and hot.
00:38The earth was cracked and thirsty.
00:41The beautiful flowers in the gardens were drooping their heads, their petals all wilted.
00:47The big, strong trees looked tired, their leaves hanging low.
00:53In the village square, Pico saw children with their hands together, looking up at the sky, praying for just a little bit of rain.
01:04Seeing the sad village made Pico's fluffy heartache.
01:08Oh, how he wished he could help them.
01:11He wanted to bring them cool, refreshing rain.
01:15But then he looked at himself.
01:17He was just a small, little cloud.
01:19I'm not big enough, he thought sadly.
01:23I can't make a real storm.
01:26I'm too small to make a difference.
01:28Just then, a gentle voice wrestled past him.
01:32It was a wind, whispering a secret only for Pico.
01:37Listen, little one, the wind whispered softly.
01:41You don't have to be big to be mighty.
01:43Even small clouds can make a big difference, Pico thought about the wind's words.
01:50Maybe, maybe he could try.
01:53He closed his little cloud eyes and took the deepest breaths he had ever taken, puffing himself up as much as he could.
02:02Then, with all his might, he squeezed himself very, very hard.
02:08And then, something magical happened.
02:12Plink, plonk.
02:13Tiny little raindrops began to fall from Pico.
02:17At first, it was just a few drops, then a few more, creating a gentle shower over the thirsty village below.
02:27Down on the ground, the drooping flowers filled the cool water and lifted their heads toward the sky as if to say thank you.
02:37The tired trees swayed their branches happily, their leaves dancing in the soft rain.
02:44And the children, oh, the children, they ran out into the open, laughing and dancing with their arms stretched wide, catching the wonderful raindrops.
02:57From his spot in the sky, Pico watched the happy scene.
03:01A warm, proud feeling filled him up completely.
03:04He wasn't too small after all.
03:08He had made a huge difference.
03:10From that day forward, Pico floated across the sky with a new belief in his heart.
03:17Even a little cloud can save the day.
03:20He learned that helping others gives you a special kind of strength, a strength you never knew you had.
