HOME READING
Music fo r the Clouds
There was once a very small country that 
had problems of long periods without rain. It 
had gone so long without rain that the people 
there were starting to go hungry because of 
the bad harvests.
It just so happened that a group of 
musicians were travelling the country, trying 
to make a living from their concerts. But with 
so many problems in the land, no one felt 
like listening to music.
“ Music can help solve any problem,” said 
the musicians. But no one paid them the 
smallest attention.
So the musicians tried to find out the 
reason it wouldn’t rain. It was very strange, 
because the sky was cloudy. But nobody 
could answer this question.
“ It’s been cloudy like this for many months, 
but not a single drop of rain has fallen,” 
people would tell them.
“ Don’t worry,” said the musicians, “w e’ll 
bring rain to the country.”
They began rehearsing for a concert at 
the top of the highest mountain. Everyone 
who heard the music was interested and 
went up the mountain to see what was 
happening there. The conductor of this 
strange orchestra gave the order, and the 
musicians began to play.
From their instruments came small, play­
ful musical notes, that rose and rose into 
the clouds. The music was so joyful, happy 
and fun, and the notes started playing with 
the clouds’ soft, white bellies, running here 
and there, up and down, and the whole sky 
turned into one big playground. Soon after 
that, the giant clouds were thundering with 
laughter.
The musicians continued playing joyfully 
and a few minutes later the clouds started
crying with laughter, and soon it was pouring 
with rain. The clouds above the little country 
cried with their beautiful tears, bringing 
happiness to all.
And since that time that musical rain stayed 
in the memory of everyone. Each person in 
the land learned how to play an instrument 
and, taking turns, would go up the mountain 
every day to bring joy to the clouds with their 
beautiful songs.
