High above a tiny green village lives Puff, a small, fluffy cloud who loves watching birds, flowers, and the people below. But Puff has one problem-he is afraid to rain because he worries that he might make a mistake.
One day, the village becomes dry. The grass turns yellow, the flowers droop, and the pond begins to disappear. Puff wishes he could help, but he doesn't know what to do.
A kind little butterfly encourages him to try. Puff takes a deep breath and attempts to make just one tiny raindrop.
Plop
The drop falls onto a thirsty sunflower, and Puff discovers that he can help after all. Soon, he becomes brave enough to make more rain. The flowers bloom, the trees become green, the pond fills, and the children happily dance in the rain.
Puff learns that he doesn't have to be perfect. He only needs the courage to begin.
Moral:
You don't have to be perfect to make a difference. Sometimes, courage begins with one small step.
