In a sunny meadow beside a leafy bush, Yelly crouches behind the foliage, tail drooping, eyes worried, morning light casting soft shadows.
Yelly woke up feeling sas and didn't want to play. She tried to smile, but her tail just drooped. "Why do I feel so sas today?" she whispered. Yelly hid behind a bush, worried her friends would see.
Under clear afternoon sky above the same meadow, Cloud hovers mid-air waving cheerfully while Yelly stands below, head lowered, gently refusing.
Yelly saw her friend Cloud drift by, waving cheerfully. "Hello, Yelly! Want to play catch-the-wind?" Cloud called. Yelly shook her head and mumbled, "Not today..." Cloud floated closer, concerned.
At the meadow's edge in warm daylight, Cloud floats close with a gentle smile as Yelly sits on grass studying her paws, ears drooped.
Cloud asked softly, "Are you feeling sas, Yelly?" Yelly nodded, looking at her paws. "It's okay to feel sas sometimes," Cloud said kindly. "Feelings come and go, just like me!"
In golden late-day light over the meadow, Cloud spins in a playful swirl while Yelly looks up laughing, small smile growing, tail perking.
Yelly blinked and smiled a little. "Really? It won't last forever?" Cloud spun in a happy swirl. "Nope! Sadness blows by, and happy comes back soon." Yelly giggled, feeling lighter.
