00:00once upon a time in a small village nestled between rolling hills and a sparkling lake lived a cat named marmalade unlike the other cats in the village who were content with their simple lives of chasing mice and napping in the sun marmalade had a peculiar dream
00:17he wanted to fly every day marmalade would sit for hours on the roof of the tallest house in the village gazing at the birds soaring through the sky he'd watch them take off their wings spread wide and turn into the wind disappearing into the vast expanse above
00:35marmalade yearned to join them to feel the wind beneath his paws as he ran jumped and soared through the air the other cats in the village thought marmalade's desire to fly was quite silly
00:48why would you want to fly when you can climb the tallest tree and get a nice view from up there they'd say but marmalade wasn't satisfied with just climbing he wanted to experience the freedom and joy of flight
01:02one day marmalade met an old wise owl named athena he poured his heart out to her telling her about his dream of flying athena listened patiently to marmalade's tale and when he finished she said
01:16your dream is a noble one little cat but i must tell you that cats are not meant to fly our bodies may be agile and graceful on the ground but we don't have wings or the ability to soar through the air
01:31marmalade's ears drooped and his eyes filled with sadness he looked at athena and asked so you're saying it's impossible for me to fly
01:41not impossible athena corrected gently but highly unlikely however she added seeing the dejection on marmalade's face there is a way you can experience the feeling of flight
01:55intrigued marmalade asked what do you mean athena how can i experience the feeling of flight without actually flying
02:03athena smiled mysteriously and said if you wish to experience flight you must seek out the cloud weaver she lives at the top of the highest mountain in the whispering peaks the cloud weaver has the ability to weave dreams
02:17weave dreams and make anything one desires appear real for a short while marmalade's eyes widened with hope could this be the solution to his problem
02:27without wasting a moment he thanked athena and set off to find the whispering peaks the journey to the whispering peaks was long and arduous
02:37marmalade climbed over rocks and bushes crossed gushing streams and walked through dense forests just when his paws were about to give up
02:45he saw it the tallest mountain he had ever seen its peak seemed to touch the clouds and marmalade felt a surge of excitement
02:55he started his ascent and as he climbed higher and higher the air grew thinner and colder
03:01finally after what seemed like an eternity marmalade reached the top
03:06and there in front of him was a small cottage made of twigs and leaves
03:10and beside it sat an old hunched figure weaving something on a loom
03:15gathering all his strength marmalade approached the figure and introduced himself
03:20the old cat looked up and introduced herself as the cloud weaver
03:24marmalade explained his desire to fly and asked if she could help him
03:28the cloud weaver nodded and with a wave of her magic wand she wove a spell
03:33suddenly marmalade felt a pair of wings sprout from his back
03:38they were beautiful shimmering wings that sparkled in the sunlight
03:43overjoyed marmalade thanked the cloud weaver and rushed to the edge of the mountain
03:48he took a deep breath jumped off and started flapping his wings
03:52to his amazement he was flying he flew around the mountain feeling the wind beneath his wings
03:58and for a few glorious moments he experienced the freedom and joy of flight
04:03but as quickly as it started it ended
04:06the cloud weaver's magic was temporary and marmalade found himself falling towards the ground
04:11although he had only flown for a short while it was enough to show him that his dream could come true
04:16when the other cats in the village heard about marmalade's adventure they were amazed
04:22they had been wrong to make fun of him and from that day on they never did again
04:28marmalade continued to visit the cloud weaver and each time he flew
04:32he shared the experience with the other cats inspiring them to follow their dreams
04:36helping them to follow their dreams no matter how impossible they may seem
