The Cloudy Adventure

A story about Where does rain come from?

for your 1st Grader.

Bolda stands near a wooden hut by the shore. In the background, rolling hills bloom with flowers.

Bolda the Bright was a brave Girl Viking. She lived in a cozy village by the sea. Her friend was a white chicken named Cluckster.

Cluckster stands next to a drooping flower. In the background, a patch of green grass.

One morning, Bolda and Cluckster walked among the fields. They saw the flowers drooping and wilted. The plants looked so very thirsty.

A big cloud overhead. In the background, a gentle breeze moves the tall grass.

Bolda scratched her head. “Where is the rain?” she wondered. Usually, water fell from the sky to help the flowers grow.

Cluckster looks up with a happy beak. In the background, a wooden fence stands in a field.

Cluckster flapped his wings. He sang a funny song to cheer up the flowers. But the sky stayed gray and quiet.

Bolda stands at the bottom of a grassy hill. In the background, scattered rocks line a winding path.

Bolda said, “We must find the tallest hill. Maybe we can ask the clouds for help.” She led the way with a brave smile.

A pair of Viking boots pressed into the hilltop grass. In the background, big puffy clouds float in the sky.

They climbed and climbed. Their Viking boots slipped on wet blades of grass, but they kept going until they reached the top.

Cluckster stands tall, beak wide open to sing. In the background, a gentle breeze ripples the clouds.

At the peak, Cluckster sang again. Bolda whispered to the clouds. She asked them kindly, “Our flowers need your rain.”

Sparkling raindrops splash on a flower petal. In the background, the sky is turning darker with rain.

The clouds rumbled softly. Then, tiny drops began to fall. Plink, plink, plink. The rain came at last, soft and cool.
