Every evening, Kiran tapped his heart-arrow on the cloud dock: tap, tap, hum. He wanted to know why it hummed only when the sun turned peach and the air smelled like rain. The other sky babies tied balloon strings and yawned, but Kiran held the little arrow close. Until one evening, the hum tugged hard enough to pull his bowstring twang!
Because of that, Kiran floated after it, past silver sparkles and sleepy heart balloons. Because of THAT, the balloons began humming too, soft as bees in a flower cup. At the far edge of the dock, the arrow pointed to a tiny crack in the cloud where a shy echo was stuck. “There you are,” Kiran whispered. He plucked the string once, and the echo flew out, round and bright. Next time you see his heart-arrow, can you hear the tap, tap, hum?
