The Greedy Cloud

The Greedy Cloud Story

Once upon a time, we lived on a cloud that grew over a very beautiful country. One day she saw another cloud, much larger, and felt so much envy that the cloud decided that in order to get bigger and grow bigger, her water would never leave her and it would never rain again.

Indeed, the Cloud grew, and His Earth dried up. First, the rivers dried up, then people, animals, plants, and, finally, the whole country turned into a desert. The cloud didn’t care, but it also didn’t realize that, being over the desert, there was no place where it could get new water to keep growing.

So slowly the cloud began to lose size and was unable to do anything to stop it. Then Cloud realized her mistake and that her greed and selfishness were the reason for her disappearance, But just before she evaporated, when she was just a sigh of cotton, a light breeze began to blow.

The cloud was so small and weighed so little that the wind carried it far away, to a distant beautiful country, where it regained its original size.

The Greedy Cloud Story Moral

Having learned this lesson, Our Cloud remained small and modest, but it became so generous during the rain that its new country became even greener.

Giving all the people there the most beautiful rainbow in the world.
