"Once Upon when 'Land'
was little and there was no man...
"Lived a beautiful, little, blue, cloud named...
'Sky Blue. '
"And, that is where I'll let this story be because...
...
"Hello again Ye all!"
"It's me Annie...
"Annie Oakley the...
' Greatest Female, Sharp- Shooter' West of this her...
"Mississippi River!"
"And, for all whom followed Ricky's other book...
"She'd A Tear Fairytales and Fables" we gotch ya a treat!"
...
"I will be your narrator and I got me a box of Kleenex cause Ricky sometimes makes me.....
"Okay, Ricky give me a little lead?"
...
"Okay Annie, take it from here....
"Lived a beautiful, little, blue cloud named....
"Got it Ricky!"
"His um name was 'Sky Blue.'
...
"He was as 'Cumulus' as could be...
"Born from a hurricane and a breeze of Glee!"
"And, as happy as happy could ever be!"
...
"And, Once Upon a time there would be...
"A chance meeting between Sky Blue and...
'The Land...
...
"One fine day in May with yellowed daffodils trumpets in the air...
"Without a though or a care....
"Sky Blue drifted into view never ever so far below?"
"And, saw the Beauty of 'Land. '
"Ever slowly, drifting below he...
"Sky Blue came into view...
"And, saw the most amazing things...
...
"The yellow of 'Dil' and the pinks of 'Tu' too!"
"And, all the colors of Spring for this day...
"The flowers were out to play and sing!"
"Among the sunshine of that fine day in May!o
...
"Hello, anybody know?"
But, no answer, just a trumpet or two from the 'Dills?'
"Strange?"
Blue thought.
...
"So, he tried again but louder....
"Hello, anybody want to PLAY?"
No answer again but the buzz of the Honey Bees collecting nectar in the breeze?
...
"Well, that was an odd sound...
"Something new but not quite what I want it to...
Thought.
"Little Sky Blue. "
...
"Ready to leave, oh yes indeed...
"And, as he started to blow away...
"Hello?"
"Hello?"
"Hello?"
"Who are you?"
Asked Sky Blue.
...
"Answered the stranger...
"Well my name is 'The Land' and that you need to understand....
"But, my question to you is who?"
...
"Well, my name is 'Sky Blue'and how do you do?"
"I'm Cumulus Cloud you know and as big as big can be!"
"Well, soon...
"And, I was just recently formed....
"So, please don't make fun of me....

****

"Never, that would make me so sad and you would too...
"And cry all over me and..
"I would get all muddy...
"Yes, I would be sad but you are such a handsome Lad!"
...
"Land told Blue that He was created a long, long, time ago...
"By 'The Heavenly Father' and Creator....
"Accordingly so...
"He said that when He awoke, He was way down below?"
...
"No more 'Spirit World' for He?"
"Now he was on His own!"
"But suddenly, it started to rain lightly...
"Then pour...
"And then...
"Much, much, more!"
...
"It was the beginning of the Oceans and the Seas!"
"That led to the Bays and the Estuaries!"
"The run off became the Great Lakes and eventually Artic Icebergs!"
"The millions of rivers, streams, and ponds...
"And when it was all done...
...
"Father created the sky and the Air...
"Then the Kingdoms...
"First the Animal Kingdom then the Insect Kingdom til finally...
"A man!"
"All part of His 'Great Plan!'
...
"As Sky Blue listened closely to the stories by 'The Lannd'
"He then told his story too!"
...
"His Father was so huge he became a 'Hurricane' and.... "His mother 'A North Easter'
as cold as cold could be!"
"So, they joined forces and dad calmed to a degree and then there was me...
'Sky Blue!"
...
"He talked of his many Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, and Grands who lost their WI do and left the Land...
...
"He talked about Uncle Tornado....
"He was a Son-of-a-Wind!"
"Blew so fast, no one ever saw him again?"
"And Aunt Breeze" was just a sneeze who just drifts below...
"Very, very, slow!"
"While Uncle Blew" knew what to do and was always in your view!"
...
"Well, that's me and they make me happy but you didn't ask me why?"
"Why?"
Land asks.
"Well, when I first began wondered who and where I was?"
"Then suddenly, a voice came from above...
"He said...
...
"Beautiful as you...
"My Little, Sky, of Blue...
"You now have an important job to do...
"To spread and paint the Horizons azure blue!"
...
"And, with every Sunset...
"And, with every Sunrise...
"You shall touch all the clouds...
"And teach them how to cry...
The End.

"Awe...
"Ricky you did it again!"
"I'm bawling my eyes out!"
"Sorry Annie but with these "Shed A Tears' well...
"That's the way it's got to be!"
