"Charlie Brown, Linus and Lucy are standing on top of a hill looking out at the clouds as Lucy says: “Aren’t the clouds beautiful? They look like big balls of cotton…” <br> <br> Charlie Brown, Linus and Lucy are lying on the hill now looking up as Lucy says: ‘I could just lie here all day, and watch them drift by…” <br> <br> Lucy goes on saying, as she points up to the sky: “If you use your imagination, you can see lots of things in the cloud formations… What do you think you see, Linus?” <br> <br> Charlie Brown sits up a bit listening to Linus tell them what he sees “Well, those clouds up there look to me like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean..” <br> <br> Linus point up to the sky saying: “that cloud up there looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor…” Charlie Brown lifts his head a bit higher looking up at what Linus is pointing too. <br> <br> Charlie Brown is sitting up a bit more with a puzzled look on his face as Linus goes on saying: “And that group of clouds over there gives me the impression of the stoning of Stephen…I can see the Apostle Paul standing there to one side…” <br> <br> Lucy replies” Uh Huh… that’s very good…what do YOU see in the Clouds, Charlie Brown? Charlie Brown turns his head and looks at Lucy. <br> <br> Charlie Brown looks back up at the sky and says to Lucy: “Well, I was going to say I saw a ducky and a horse, but I changed my mind!” <br> <br>" dialogue-text,"Charlie Brown, Linus and Lucy are standing on top of a hill looking out at the clouds as Lucy says: “Aren’t the clouds beautiful?
