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.
