High up in the sky floated a tiny, fluffy cloud named Niko. Unlike the other clouds, Niko had never cried a single raindrop—not even one!

He watched other clouds rain on fields and flowers, helping trees grow and animals drink. But Niko? He just drifted quietly, holding all his feelings inside.

Chapter 1: A Cloud With a Heavy Heart

Niko often felt full—like he might burst—but he didn’t understand why.

“Why don’t you let it out?” asked Rumi, the rainbow who always appeared after a rain.

“I don’t know how,” Niko whispered. “What if I start and never stop?”

Rumi smiled gently. “That’s what friends are for. We’ll help you through it.”

Chapter 2: Meeting the Weather Friends

One day, Niko met:

• Blitz the thundercloud – who roared when he was scared.
• Sunny the sunbeam – who giggled when she was nervous.
• Foggy the mist – who stayed quiet when he felt unsure.

Each had their own way of showing feelings.

“You don’t have to be like us,” Sunny said. “You just have to be you.”

Chapter 3: The Big Storm

That afternoon, a big storm blew in. Trees bent, animals scurried, and Niko was tossed around by strong winds.

He felt scared… then overwhelmed… then sad.

He thought of the thirsty flowers below. And suddenly—drip! A tiny raindrop fell.

Then another. And another.

Niko was crying.

But instead of fear, he felt lighter. The flowers lifted their heads. A rainbow appeared. And Rumi whispered, “You did it.”

Conclusion

From that day on, Niko understood that crying wasn’t something to fear. It was a way to share, to heal, and to help.

And when feelings bubbled up again, he didn’t hide. He let it rain—and his friends were always there to brighten the sky afterward.
