Captain Cloud loved to drift and dream, watching the world like a giant movie screen.

One day, he saw mighty mountains, tall and grand, with snowy peaks that touched the sky, like a sprinkle of sugar on a giant pie!

"Wow!" exclaimed Captain Cloud, "Those mountains are cool! But why are their tops covered in a fluffy white pool?"

Just then, Sunny the Sun peeked out from a cloud. "That's snow, silly Cloud!" she said, laughing out loud.

"Snow? What's that?" asked Captain Cloud, feeling a bit perplexed. Sunny the Sun giggled, "It's like rain, but frozen and complex!"

"You see, when it gets super cold, way up high, water turns into tiny ice crystals, it's true, no lie!"

"These crystals clump together, light and bright, and fall to the earth as snowflakes, a magical sight!"

Captain Cloud watched in awe as snow fell on the peaks, covering the mountains in soft, white streaks.

"Wow!" he whispered, "Snow is so cool and grand. I wish I could touch it, feel it in my hand."

"Well," said Sunny the Sun, with a wink and a gleam, "Maybe someday you'll become snow, it's not as hard as it seems!"
