The Cloud

One bright summer day, in the city of Medlin, citizens of every age absorbed the splendor of a festival. Jazz music flowed through the streets as people browsed through the arts and crafts, greeted neighbors with bubble gum grins, and tasted the delicacies on display, including caramel apples, giant bags of kettle corn, frosted mini-cakes, and fresh strawberries.

In the distance a large cumulous cloud floated in the sky, watching all the charms of the festival, and soon it decided to join the fun. But when the cloud glided down to the earth, and settled in every nook and cranny of the streets, the citizens became immersed in a dense fog, unable to see a foot in front of them. Their beautiful day was ruined.
