One day Bubble, dim and dull, got tired playing with other bubbles, decided to make a journey of his own. So he called Wind and asked her to take him far away to see places he had not seen.
Wind, who had been all over places, warned Bubble that he might possibly meet unfriendly things along the way and new experiences might not be as brilliant as he thought.
Bubble said he'd take the risks, so Wind started to blow slowly and softly.
They landed first on Desert. It was so hot and the midday heat was unbearable. Bubble passed out and nearly died from dehidrated, but luckily Wind found Oasis nearby. Oasis took care of Bubble so tenderly, but as soon as Bubble woke up, he said to Wind that he hated Desert so much and Cactus's thorns had nearly stung him, and that they should just leave the place at once. Oasis was dissapointed to loose a friend and Desert got offensed. Just before Desert spurted his sand and grit to pop Bubble, Wind took him away posthaste.
They reached Ocean the next day and Bubble hated her as well. He said she was too noisy, her salt dried his skin and none of her suds friends were as beautiful as he was. Ocean heard him and stormed in anger. Once again, Wind saved Bubble before he got caught by Ocean's hands and melted by the salt.
They arrived on Snow Mountain in early morning and Bubble began complaining again. "I'm freezing out here, soon I'll turn into an Ice Ball. Why do you always take me to such places where I cannot live?!"
Trying hard to please Bubble, Wind took him higher and higher to a place where she thought to be the most beautiful one in the world. They met the Cloud there and Bubble started to cry in frustation. "Cloud tries to suck me in. She already has so many water inside her, yet she wants me to join her too. What a greedy creature!"
Wind couldn't help it anymore. She yelled at Bubble, "You're the most ungrateful bubble I've ever met! I was so happy to take you around the world, so I could share the wonder I've seen with you. But you just couldn't see how good Desert carves the sand and how brave the Cactus is to live without water. You didn't notice how blue the Ocean is and how many lovely creatures live deep down. You never know the cheerful that Snow brings for the kids and how gorgeous the scenery is, when you look down the Mountain. You have no idea that Cloud is so tender and mild, and that she creates the Rain, which brings life for the earth." Bubble was stunned and started to regret himself, then said, "Oh, Wind. Now I wish I could be like you, who helps others like me to see the beauty of the world."
Sun, the ruler of the earth, who'd been eavesdropping during the conversation, came out from his hiding place and said, "Bubble, I could help you to become the one that you want. But you will have to sacrifice a bit for that. Would you?" Bubble nodded happily. Using his power, Sun began to glow so ablaze. Thereafter Sun said, "Bubble, from now on you will reflect all the things around you. So not only you could help others to see the beauty of the world, you'll also make it double. The kids would love to play with you, and you could see their happy faces mirrored on you. But for this you'll have to be so thin and fragile. You'll only live for a while. But before you dissapear into the air, you brought joy to the world."
Bubble and Wind are now good friends and they often go together since then.

lovely story.. did u make it? sweet..
I did. Glad that u like it :)
I'm quite happy with this story too, honestly ^^
though i've always thought it wasn't really Bubble's fault that he became so bitter towards everything. Those creatures he met almost killed him, right?
