Summary:
This is a beautifully illustrated magical tale of a boy who weaves clouds into cloth. One day when the boy is in the village, he is approached by the king. The king orders him to make him a large scarf, and other clothing for his family. The boy advises against this, but he dutifully does it. When he’s done, the clouds are all used up and the much-needed rain ceases. Fortunately, the princess takes all the clothing made from the clouds to the boy, who turns them back into clouds, and the rain comes again to replenish the fields.
