"Om-Om, look!"

The wizened old man looked down at his 3 year old great-grandson. Smiling, he patted the boy on the top of his light brown hair. "Look at what, little one?" he asked.

Jumping up and pointing with his arm, he gestured widely at the clouds. "Lookit, Om-Om! Lookey-look! Clouds!"

Raising his eyes skyward, he looked past the dark lush forest of their tribe's homelands towards the multi-colored sky. The last hour of daylight turned the edges of the sky a multitude of colors ranging from dark blue to yellow, striking a beautiful contrast of oranges and reds across the bottoms of the clouds. A small grin threatened to break out among his long gray mustache hair until he say something that caught his attention. Just to the left of center as he faced the southwest sky was a cloud that looked incredibly like his own likeness, made out of white fluff. Blinking for a moment, he stared in wonder as the cloud next to it took shape as well. A small round head, bowl cut hair, small button nose and unmistakable oversized round ears formed from the once shapeless mass.

"Lookey look Om-Om! Me too!" giggled the child as his arms around in near constant motion.

"So it is, so it is," marveled the man as he pondered the meaning of it all.
