    Once upon a time, in a land bathed in perpetual sunlight, a tiny cloud named Puff resided. Unlike his raincloud friends who often were grumpy and grey, Puff was different. He was not interested in casting showers but was fascinated by colors!

    Every morning, Puff would peek through the skylight, captivated by the sight of children playing with their paints. Their laughter and the vibrant colors of their paintings filled Puff with joy and inspired him.

    One day, a strong gust of wind nudged Puff away from his grumpy cloud friends. He drifted over a playground, tears of rain threatening to spill from his fluffy form.

    But then, an idea sparked within Puff. He let out a tiny puff, and a sprinkle of rain fell onto a child's paintbrush. To his surprise, the droplet shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow!

    One day, Puff saw a new child at the playground. He was shy and hesitant, watching the other children from a distance. Puff knew exactly what to do.
