Introduction

Miss Kelley and Miss Green decided to go to Overlook Park one day and look at the beautiful mountains.
The sun had not been shining in days and the grey clouds were spread thickly across the sky.
The cloud reminded them of marshmellows.
 Miss Green asked, "Do you know what those clouds are called?"
Miss Kelley didn't know the anwer!
She thought, "I wonder what those big, puffy, grey clouds are called."
Will you help Miss Kelley?
