Behind the tall blue sky, Bindi pressed paper scraps on her little worktable. She wanted to make Earth a set of weather badges with her own hands: a warm sun, a swirly wind, a sharp lightning zigzag, and two crisp snow stars. Snip-snip went her scissors. Scratch-scratch went her crayon. But the plain gray cloud sat there, puffy and quiet, smelling like rain on sidewalk.
“Don’t tell,” Bindi whispered, and poked one finger into a fold nobody ever checked. Out rolled three shiny drops, cool as window glass. She stitched them under the cloud, then pinned every badge above Earth in a proud circle. The sun beamed, the wind whooshed, the lightning flashed, and the snow stars clicked like tiny bells. Ever since, Earth keeps weather signs in the sky so everyone knows what is coming. Next time you spot the hidden drops under the cloud, you’ll know Bindi made them first by hand.
