A Tale of Two Clouds
Once a time while
There began a conversation
Or rather say an argument
Between two clouds
As to who can get to the sun first?
Both of them got confused
After an interval of rigorous debate
They decided to go and ask their friends
And decided to take their suggestions.
First of all they went to the star,
The star said not to disturb it
And go and ask the birds.
They did as they were said,
But still the reply they got there was the same.
Then they went to the rain,
Then the thunders
And finally the moon.
Everywhere they kept on getting the same response.
But the moon had something extra to say,
It said “Why do both wonder about reaching the sun?
When both of you stand astill parallel to it
And serve your own purpose for living
Don’t waste your time on such things
And try to think for some new things.”
