Something didn’t seem quite right about one particular cloud. And so, it looked exactly like a castle, complete with towers and windows, and it wasn’t moving like the other clouds. Bramble’s curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to investigate. And so, using his great climbing skills, Bramble scaled the tallest tree he could find. To his amazement, a magical rainbow bridge appeared, leading right up to the cloud castle.

As Bramble stepped onto the cloud castle’s soft, fluffy courtyard, he heard gentle purring sounds. And so, around the corner, he discovered a group of swamp cats having a tea party! But these weren’t ordinary swamp cats - they wore silvery crowns and had wings made of mist.

— Welcome to Cloud Castle! said a elegant grey cat named Whisperwind with a smile — We’ve been watching you from up here, hoping you’d visit someday.

Feeling embarrassed and angry at himself, Bramble let out a frustrated growl. The cloud beneath his feet began to darken and rumble. And so, whisperwind gently explained that in Cloud Castle, strong emotions affected the weather below.

— When we’re angry or upset, Whisperwind demonstrated by making a small storm cloud, “our feelings can rain on everyone else’s day
