Above the hushy cloud meadow, little Pippa carried a crooked sewing needle tucked behind her ear. She wanted a nap place made by her own hooves, not one puffed by the wind-menders. Snip, tuck, pat—she stitched scraps of mist together while the air smelled like rain and vanilla. The needle had belonged to her first blanket, so every poke felt brave and careful.
When the moon climbed up, Pippa pulled one last loop too tight. The mist bunched into round, soft bumps all around her. “Oh,” she whispered, pressing her cheek to the lumpy edge, “I made it hold me.” The stars blinked quiet approval, and the crescent moon bent close like a silver smile. Ever since that night, clouds have kept their scalloped edges, copied from Pippa’s handmade bed. If you peek at her cloud now, can you find the cozy bumps she stitched with pride?
