Captain Cloudbeard and the Sky Sea

Captain Cloudbeard wasn't your typical pirate. He didn't sail on blue seas with salty waves. Nope! Captain Cloudbeard sailed the sky seas!

His ship, the "Fluffy Duck," wasn't made of wood. It was made of bouncy, cloud-like cotton candy! It was the sweetest ship in the whole sky.

One day, Captain Cloudbeard spotted a tiny island way up high. "Land ho!" he cried, his voice echoing through the fluffy clouds.

This wasn't just any island. It was a Jellybean Island, sparkling with every color you could imagine!

Captain Cloudbeard's tummy rumbled like thunder. He loved jellybeans, especially the red ones!

"Onwards to adventure!" he roared, steering the Fluffy Duck towards the sugary island.

As the Fluffy Duck got closer, they met a little cloud sheep, fluffy and white, with tears in its eyes. "What's wrong, little one?" asked Captain Cloudbeard kindly.

"I've lost my rainbow!" cried the cloud sheep. "It's faded away, and I can't find any colors!"

Captain Cloudbeard knew just what to do! "We'll help you find your rainbow," he promised. "To the Jellybean Island!"

The Fluffy Duck landed softly on a mountain of jellybeans. "Look!" cried the first mate, a little bluebird named Squawk. "Jellybean colors!"

Captain Cloudbeard carefully picked a red jellybean. He rubbed it on the faded rainbow and whoosh! A streak of red appeared!

They rubbed orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet jellybeans, each one bringing a stripe of color back to the rainbow.

The little cloud sheep leaped with joy. The rainbow was back, brighter than ever! "Thank you, Captain Cloudbeard!" it bleated happily.
