Wilma was an extra bouncy young cloud.

Who liked to play.

At top speed.

“Slow down!” shouted an older cloud. “Ouch!” complained another. “Oof!” “Look out!” “Careful!”

Wilma was having such fun. She didn’t try to plough into the other clouds. But sometimes her attention wandered when she was playing.
