High in the sky lived a small white cloud named Cloudie. Every day she watched the beautiful rainbow with seven colors and sighed.
"I wish I were a rainbow!" Cloudie would say. "I'm just white and boring."
One day, Cloudie tried hard to change color. She squeezed and twisted, but stayed white. She began to cry, and her tears fell as gentle rain.
The flowers below rejoiced: "Thank you, Cloudie! You brought us water!"
The trees added: "You keep us green!"
The river said: "I flow thanks to your tears!"
Cloudie stopped and thought. Without her rain, there would be no flowers, trees, or rivers. There wouldn't even be a rainbow — because rainbows are born when sunshine meets rain!
"I don't need to be a rainbow," said Cloudie proudly. "I'm the one who makes rainbows possible!"
You don't need to be someone else. You have your own unique value that makes the world more beautiful.
