The Carousel's Quiet Start
Far up high, where fluffy clouds dance, is the Cloud Carousel. Nimbus, a sheep made of clouds, smiled wide. The Carousel was quiet. Usually, it was full of happy giggles. But today, something was wrong. The lullaby was missing! Nimbus loved counting sheep to the sleepy tune. Tonight, the music was gone. The other creatures seemed sad too.
Flit's Sleepy Wings
Flit, the winged cat, stretched her paws. Her wings were droopy. 'Where did our song go, Nimbus?' she meowed softly. Flit usually sang the lullaby with Nimbus. Her purrs made it extra cuddly. But her voice was quiet today. She looked around the Carousel Sadly. The toys were still, and the colors looked faded.
Gusty's Gentle Breeze
Gusty, the wind spirit, puffed out his cheeks gently. He blew softly, searching for a note of the missing song. 'I can't find it,' he whispered. Usually, he blows the lullaby around the Carousel. It floated from cloud to cloud. Today, his breaths were just quiet whispers. Nimbus felt a little worried.
Searching High and Low
Nimbus blinked his fluffy eyes. 'We have to find it!' he said. He hopped down from the Carousel. He looked under a big, rainbow slide. Then, he peeked behind a soft, star-shaped pillow. Flit fluttered her wings. She looked behind the Carousel's spinning wheel. Gusty whirled gently around the edge, listening closely. But they couldn't find the lost lullaby.
A Tiny, Tear-Shaped Cloud
Suddenly, Nimbus saw a tiny cloud. It was shaped like a teardrop. It was hiding behind a fluffy swing. Nimbus went closer. 'Are you okay, little cloud?' he asked gently. The tiny cloud shook. A little sniffle came from it. 'I… I lost the lullaby,' it whispered. 'I was carrying it, and it floated away!'
The Lullaby's Journey
The tiny cloud explained. The lullaby floated away when a big bird flew past. The bird's wings made a strong gust of wind. It swirled the song into the night sky. Nimbus, Flit, and Gusty listened carefully. They knew they had to get the lullaby back.
Up, Up, and Away!
Gusty puffed out his cheeks. 'I'll blow us up to the sky!' he said. He blew a gentle, but strong, gust of wind. Nimbus held onto Flit tightly. Flit flapped her wings. Together, they floated up, up, up into the darkening sky. The stars peeked out from behind the clouds. They were on their way to find the lost lullaby.
Chasing the Stars
They flew past twinkling stars. 'Do you see the lullaby?' Nimbus called. Flit looked closely. 'I think I hear it!' she purred softly. The lullaby was very quiet. It sounded like whispers among the stars. They followed the sound. It took them further and further into the darkness.
The Sleepy Star
Finally, they saw it! It was wrapped around a sleepy star. The star was yawning a very big yawn. It almost fell asleep. The lullaby kept it awake gently. Nimbus reached out. He gently took the lullaby from the sleepy star. The star smiled sleepily and closed its eyes. 'Thank you,' it whispered as it drifted off to sleep.
Back to the Carousel
Gusty blew them gently back to the Cloud Carousel. Flit sang the lullaby softly. Nimbus counted sheep in a quiet rhyme. The tiny cloud smiled happily. The toys on the Carousel seemed brighter. The colors were happy again. Soon, everyone on the Carousel was drifting off to dreamland. The lullaby was safe and sound.
