High above a peaceful valley, a tiny raindrop named Rilo clung to the edge of a fluffy gray cloud. He wasn’t like the other raindrops—while they eagerly waited to fall, Rilo was afraid.
“What if I get lost?” he asked the wind.
The wind chuckled. “Every raindrop has a song, Rilo. You just have to find yours.”
With a deep breath, Rilo let go. As he tumbled down, he heard a soft plink as he landed on a leaf. The leaf swayed, sending him onto a rock—drip! Then he joined a stream—splash!
With every drop he met, Rilo heard new sounds: the trickle of a brook, the rush of a river, the deep roar of a waterfall. He realized he wasn’t just a raindrop—he was part of nature’s great symphony.
When he finally reached the ocean, Rilo no longer felt afraid. He had found his song.
Moral: Sometimes, we fear the unknown, but every journey helps us discover who we truly are.
