The kids all raced down to the pond to talk
to the powerplants.  They are the keepers
of all knowledge in the village and live to
be thousands of years old.  They collect
sunbeams during the day and turned them
into electricity to keep the houses warm at
night.  Their main job is to teach the
children.  Everyone loves to talk to the
powerplants when they needed advice.

“Hi kids! What’s the hurry?”  asked Mrs.
Sunland.
“The cloud races are only a couple of
weeks away and I can’t find any clouds.  
What do you think we should do?” asked
Bizby.
“That is a tough one.  Why don’t you kids
go practice your kicks and I’ll give it some
thought,”  smiled Mrs. Sunland.

Bruno lined the team up for
exercises, but no one’s heart
was in it.  The festival just
wouldn’t be the same without
the cloud races.  Everyone
quit early and went home
feeling gloomy.

When Rosy got home, Bizby was
already there, talking to
Grandpa, who was the captain of
a spaceship.
“Tomorrow we’ll take ol’Betsy,
that was the name of his ship, and
go cloud hunting,” said Grandpa
trying to act serious.
“I talked to the powerplants and
they said their friends the
Wheelrights had seen a few loose
Nimbus clouds on the other side
of the Stoney mountains.”
“YAHOO!” cried out Rosy and
Bizby in unison.  “Can we go with
you?”
“Of course you can, and bring the
rest of the Rockets team,” said
Grandpa, who was always looking
for an excuse to go flying.  “You
better go get some shut-eye.  We
start at the crack of dawn.”

All the kids were
up early and
dancing with
excitement. Rosy’s
mother packed them
a lunch.
“You kids be
careful and be sure
to wear your
seatbelts,” said
Rosy’s mom, who
always worried a
little bit.

“READY FOR
TAKEOFF!”  
yelled Sparky, the
ships’ co-pilot and
radio operator.
“READY!” yelled
the kids all at once
as they zoomed
into the clear blue
sky.
“WOW!  
Everything sure
looks little from
up here.  I can see
my house and the
pool!” squealed
Mitzy.
Even Rocky was
impressed by the
beautiful sight.
