The Cloud Dragon Who Listened
A young dragon discovers that listening closely can make a storm feel smaller.
Milo was a cloud dragon with a soft blue tail and a very loud sneeze. Whenever he sneezed, a little thunder popped over the meadow.
The meadow animals grew nervous, so Milo flew to the hill and tried to hide. Then he heard a tiny sound beneath a leaf: a shiver, a sniffle, and a brave little hello.
Milo listened. The field mouse was afraid of the thunder, but not of Milo. So Milo breathed slowly, and the mouse breathed slowly too. Soon the clouds settled like blankets around the hill.
From then on, Milo listened before he sneezed. The meadow still heard a rumble now and then, but everyone knew a calm heart was nearby.
