Once I was a cloud in the blue sky. Then I turned black and big and suddenly turned into a thousand of rain drops. One of my little rain drops went on a special journey.
It slid on a rock and into a pond. Then a little fish came close. The rain drop fell on the back of that fish. The fish swam beside the coral reef. Then she swam up and the rain drop fell off of her. It sank to the bottom of the coral reef and stuck on the tip of a stingray's tail. The stingray swam and swam until the rain drop fell off and gobbled by a clam. A fisher man came with a net and got the clam out. He opened the clam and found a very beautiful shiny red pearl inside it.
The fisher man sold that pearl to a jewellery shop for a hundred dollars. An old lady bought a ring with that beautiful shiny red pearl on it from the jewellery shop. Then she gave to her friend on her birthday. Her friend gave it to the people who lost their home in the storm.
