Tom and Sue were friends who liked to paint. They had many colors and brushes and papers. They painted flowers and trees and animals and houses. One day, they decided to paint the sky.
They looked out the window and saw many clouds. Some were white and fluffy, some were gray and thin, some were pink and orange. They wanted to paint them all.
"I will paint this big white cloud," said Tom. "It looks like a bunny."
"I will paint this small gray cloud," said Sue. "It looks like a mouse."
They started to paint their clouds on their papers. They were happy and proud of their work.
But then, they saw something in the sky. It was a big, dark, unknown cloud. It was not like any cloud they had seen before. It was moving fast and making loud noises. It scared them.
"What is that?" asked Tom.
"I don't know," said Sue.
They dropped their brushes and papers and ran to their mom. They told her about the unknown cloud. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. That is a storm cloud. It brings rain and thunder and lightning. It can be scary, but it is also good. It helps the plants and animals grow. It will go away soon."
She took them to the couch and gave them blankets and cookies. They snuggled with her and watched the storm cloud pass by. They saw flashes of light and heard booms of sound. They felt the raindrops on the window. They were still a little scared, but they also felt curious and amazed.
They learned something new about the sky and the clouds. They decided to paint the storm cloud next time. They thought it would be fun and exciting. They smiled and said, "We love to paint."
