I wonder if they’re closed for a holiday? Otherwise it would be MOST peculiar for everyone to be indoors. Well, mostly everyone. Today’s story is about how the true gift of Thanksgiving is giving to others and basking in the wealth of positive relationships!

    Cloud Guardians

    All aboard the Story Train! Today’s story is takes place in England, the South Downs to be exact. Rolling green fields up and down as far as the eye can see. It’s very peaceful here and there are many small schools dotted about the countryside, filled with students in their uniforms. When the final school bells ring, many of these children walk home from school and enjoy the beautiful paths weaving through the South Downs. I think we’ll settle down on this green patch and look up at the sky for a while.
