Shy little cloud drifted quietly, hiding behind Star's glow. 'I'm scared to rain,' whispered Shy little cloud. Star twinkled kindly. 'Your drops can help,' Star said. Below, sunflowers drooped. Evening breezes sighed.

The other clouds floated still, offering no rain. 'What if I splash too hard?' fretted Shy little cloud. Star blinked. 'Try one gentle drop.' Below, a sunflower's leaves curled like thirsty hands.

Shy little cloud trembled and let one drop fall. Plip! The sunflower lifted its head. 'That tickled!' it seemed to say. Star cheered, 'See?' Shy little cloud felt a tiny brave sparkle.

Breathing steady, Shy little cloud sprinkled softly over the flowers. Plip-plip, plip-plip. Petals stretched, leaves uncurling happily. 'You did it kindly,' said Star. 'I can rain gently,' whispered Shy little cloud, smiling.
