🌤 The Cloud Who Wanted to Be the Sun.



Once upon a time, in the wide blue sky, floated a little cloud named Nubi. Every morning, Nubi watched the golden sun rise proudly, filling the world with light and warmth. Children laughed as they played under the sunshine, flowers lifted their heads, and birds spread their wings joyfully.

Nubi admired the sun so much. “If only I could shine like him,” Nubi whispered. “Then everyone would love me too.”

One day, Nubi tried very hard to glow like the sun. He stretched and puffed himself up, but no matter how much he tried, he only turned gray and heavy. The more he struggled, the darker he grew. Soon, raindrops began to fall.

“Oh no!” cried Nubi. “Now I’ve ruined the day!”

But then something magical happened. As the rain poured, the sun peeked out from behind another cloud. Together, their light and water formed a beautiful rainbow across the sky. The children pointed and cheered. Flowers sparkled with drops of water, and the thirsty fields drank happily.

For the first time, Nubi realized he didn’t need to be the sun. He had a gift of his own — bringing rain that nourished the earth and rainbows that made people smile.

That evening, the sun looked at Nubi kindly. “See, little one,” the sun said, “we all have a role. I give light, you give water, and together we make the world beautiful.”

From that day on, Nubi stopped wishing to be something else. He floated proudly, knowing his purpose was just as important as the sun’s. And whenever he made a rainbow, he remembered: being himself was enough.


💡 Lesson:

Everyone has a unique purpose. You don’t need to compare yourself to others — your gifts bring joy in their own way.

🤔 Discussion Questions:

  1. What do you think would happen if there were no clouds?

  2. Why did Nubi want to be like the sun at first?

  3. What special things can you do that others can’t?

  4. How did the rainbow show Nubi’s value?

  5. Can you think of a time when you wanted to be like someone else?

The Tortoise Who Tried to Buy the Moon (Lesson: Needs vs Wants)

  Long ago, when animals could talk and lived together in a big village, there was a small but clever tortoise. He was known for his big dreams and even bigger appetite for things he didn’t really need. Tortoise loved collecting shiny objects—cowrie shells, beads, feathers, anything that caught his eye. While other animals worked hard to gather food or build homes, Tortoise was always running after the next “special” thing. One night, as he lay on his back staring at the sky, his eyes fell on the big, bright moon. “Ohhhh!” Tortoise gasped. “That is the shiniest thing I’ve ever seen. I must have it! If I own the moon, everyone will respect me. They’ll come to my house just to admire it.” The next morning, Tortoise marched into the village square and declared, “Friends, I have decided to buy the moon. It will be mine, and I will hang it above my hut for everyone to see.” The animals burst out laughing. Monkey nearly fell from his tree. “Buy the moon? Tortoise, are you serious? T...

7 Character Lessons Every Parent Should Teach Before Age 10.

  As parents, one of our greatest responsibilities is shaping the character of our children. While academics, sports, and hobbies are important, it’s the values and inner strength we instill early on that help them stand firm in a world full of challenges. The habits and principles children learn before age 10 often stay with them for life, guiding how they treat others, handle difficulties, and see themselves. Here are seven timeless character lessons every parent should teach before their child reaches double digits: 1. Honesty Is the Best Policy Children need to know that truth builds trust, and lies—no matter how small—can break it. Teaching honesty isn’t about punishing mistakes; it’s about showing that mistakes can be forgiven when truth is told. For example, if a child admits to breaking something, thank them for their honesty before addressing the issue. This shows them that honesty strengthens relationships. 2. Respect Goes Both Ways Respect is more than saying “pl...
