Cloudette

Cloudette is a little itty-bitty cloud. Generally, Cloudette saw the advantages of being small, like everyone calling her cute names and always being able to find a good spot to watch fireworks.

But she wanted to do something important, something important like the big clouds got to do.

One day, Cloudette got her chance.

Then she did what she'd wanted to do for ages.

She let it pour.”
