The Sleepy Cloud

High above the rooftops, a little cloud named Nimboo yawned so wide that a rainbow tumbled out.
'Oh dear,' said Nimboo, catching the colours before they fell on the sleeping town below. 'It's much too late for rainbows.'
Nimboo floated past the moon, who was already wearing her nightcap. 'Having trouble sleeping again?' she asked kindly.
'I can't help it,' said Nimboo. 'I keep thinking about all the wonderful things I saw today โ the children playing in the park, the puppy chasing butterflies, the old man feeding pigeons.'
The moon smiled. 'Why don't you turn those memories into dreams? Sprinkle them gently over the town.'
So Nimboo drifted slowly over each rooftop, letting soft wisps of cloud float down through chimneys and open windows. Each wisp carried a happy memory โ now a dream for someone sleeping below.
The child who'd played in the park dreamed of flying. The puppy dreamed of butterflies made of cheese. The old man dreamed he was young again, feeding pigeons that sang opera.
And Nimboo? Finally light enough to rest, Nimboo settled on the moon's shoulder and fell fast asleep.
