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.
