In a quiet village tucked between the hills, there lived a very peculiar sheep named Nimbus. While all the other sheep enjoyed grazing and napping in the sun, Nimbus spent most of his time staring at the clouds. He had one impossible dream — to fly.
No one believed him, of course. “Sheep don’t fly,” they’d laugh. But Nimbus didn’t care. He believed hard enough for everyone.
🌬️The Windy Morning Surprise 🎈
One blustery morning, while the other sheep huddled under the trees, Nimbus climbed to the highest hill. A strong wind blew over the valley. As he leapt to catch a floating leaf, something incredible happened — his hooves didn’t touch the ground.
The wind lifted him up.
Nimbus bleated in joy as he floated above the pasture. Birds flew beside him, amazed. Below, the other sheep gasped. The sky was no longer just a dream. It was now his playground.
☁️ The Valley of Dreams 🐏
Nimbus floated far beyond his village and landed gently in a meadow made of clouds. It was called The Valley of Dreams, a place where sky-creatures lived. Flying turtles, drifting cats, and singing balloons greeted him with cheerful songs.
A wise owl offered him a sky-feather cloak. “You believed,” said the owl. “That’s all it takes to rise.”
Nimbus played and soared with his new friends, laughing like never before. He finally belonged — not just to the ground, but to the skies.
🌙 Back Home With the Stars 💫
As night came, the stars guided Nimbus back to his village. He gently floated down beside the sleepy flock. No one laughed anymore — they all listened in awe to his sky adventures.
From that night on, whenever the wind blew strong, little lambs would gather on the hilltop, hoping to catch a breeze and fly just like The Flying Sheep.
And sometimes, just sometimes, they did.
