Evening had arrived and everything had been packed away ready for its next use. It had also brought the grim warning of a storm. The sky was brimming with a dark shade of grey and black, making the mood eerily mysterious. A storm was brewing; it was about to blow, just like a volcano about to erupt. Then, “Boom!”. A lightning strike crackled across the sky, one after another. After three lightning strikes a downpour of rain fell from the sky.

With the sudden renewal of faith, the stars multiplied in replacement of the clouds. They thrived with the expansion of their power and majesty. Leaving the children in awe of their greatness. The clouds were scarcely seen from that day forward. Forced into submission in the stars’ kingdom. They were treated as ghosts, seen as invisible. In reality, they were as blue as the
