Cerbi and the Clouds

One day Tiny was looking at the clouds, lying on her back in the grass. She had been doing that for some time, when Cerbi suddenly showed up.

"What are you doing here?" Cerbi asked.

"I'm looking at the clouds and trying to find out which form they resemble."

"But you've been here for such a long time! Can't you figure out a form?"

"Yes I can, but whenever I tell myself this was the last one, a wonderful new cloud floats into the picture and I just can't resist the temptation to figure that out too! Don't you want to try?" Tiny asked.

Cerbi lay down next to Tiny and they were examining the sky together.

"Wow this is fun!" Cerbi said. "I can see Hocus as he's concocting something in his pot! And can you see Serena on his left, how mad she is about the mess Hocus leaves behind? Ha-ha she's really mad, look at her red face! This is a lot of fun!"

All of a sudden, they heard an anxious stamping above their heads.

As they looked there, it seemed as if the picture on the cloud came to life: Serena was standing there with an angry face. Her cheeks were just as red as on the sky, since she had been calling Tiny and Cerbi to lunch for about twenty minutes. Cerbi and Tiny looked at each other, then at the sky.

"Cerbi, let's figure it out from a cloud what adventures are waiting for us tomorrow. Maybe they'll come true as well!"
