When the days grew long in the middle of summer, Lisa liked to go to the park and watch the clouds.
One day, Lisa saw a cloud that looked like a standing dragon. After a few minutes it became a flying dragon. Then it seemed to change direction. Another cloud moved in to mix with it, and the dragon changed into a dancing elephant. Then it became a sitting dog then a barking (吠、叫) dog, and then a tiger.
"This is better than TV!" Lisa shouted.
Mr Thomas, the music teacher at Lisa's school, was flying a kite with his son in the park. He heard Lisa's voice. He gave the kite string (线) to his son and came to Lisa.
"Hi, Mr Thomas!" Lisa said. "Look at those clouds. They keep changing! First they looked like a dragon, then an elephant, then a dog, and now a tiger!"
Mr Thomas looked up. "Atiger?" he said. "That looks like a horse to me. It's running towards the sun, That's so lively."
Lisa looked again. He was right! "How do clouds know how to make so many shapes?"
The clouds don't know how to make shapes. Your imagination (想象力) helps you see those shapes in the clouds, "Mr Thomas answered as the horse changed into a chicken."
