Story Summary

A young painter who uses clouds to paint realizes his dream.

In a small town in Japan, there lived a child named Yoyo. Yoyo was extremely fond of painting, and his dream was to become a great painter. However, his family was poor, and he had no money to buy paintbrushes and pigments.

One day, as usual, Yoyo was sitting on the hillside in a daze, looking at the clouds in the sky with various shapes. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He thought, "Why not use the clouds in the sky to paint?"

Yoyo reaches out to touch the clouds

Since then, Yoyo would come to this hillside every day. He stretched out his small hands, gestured towards the clouds, and imagined all kinds of scenes. Sometimes, he would imagine that the large patch of cloud like cotton candy was a huge sheep. Then, as the wind blew, the shape of the sheep kept changing, and Yoyo silently depicted every movement of it in his mind. His face was filled with a happy smile, as if he had really painted the most unique picture in the world with the clouds.

At first, the friends around him couldn't understand what Yoyo was doing at all. They thought it was very strange that Yoyo was staring blankly at the sky. But Yoyo didn't care. He was immersed in his cloud world.

Yoyo tells about his paintings under the clouds

Once, Yoyo brought his friends to the hillside. Under a very large cloud, Yoyo began to excitedly tell about the paintings he had created in his mind with the clouds. He described how the cloud turned into a rough sea, and there was a huge sailing ship on the sea; and how it also became a mysterious castle, in which kind - hearted elves lived. Listening to Yoyo's description, his friends seemed to see those wonderful scenes, and they began to understand Yoyo's unique creativity and were impressed by his imagination.

As time passed, the story of Yoyo painting with clouds spread in the small town. The adults in the town also began to be curious about this child's creativity, and they came to the hillside one after another to listen to Yoyo tell about his cloud paintings.

Yoyo stands in front of the art exhibition

Later, a painter from a big city heard about Yoyo's story. This painter was deeply shocked by Yoyo's creativity, and he decided to hold a special art exhibition for Yoyo in the city. All the paintings exhibited at the art exhibition were created by Yoyo with clouds. Of course, these paintings were drawn on the canvas by this painter according to Yoyo's descriptions. The art exhibition attracted a lot of people to come and watch, and everyone was attracted by Yoyo's imaginative works.

Yoyo stood in front of the art exhibition, looking at people's love and admiration for his works. He felt extremely proud and satisfied. He knew that although he didn't have expensive paintbrushes and pigments, he had achieved his dream of becoming a painter in his own way.

After that, Yoyo became more determined in his belief. He wanted to continue to create more wonderful works with his imagination and unique method, and let more people feel the world full of fantasy in his heart.
