One floating cloud was hanging across the sky: 天上一条云

Everyone loves listening to story.  To me nursery rhymes, in a way is short story with rhymes and loved by kids.
As a Teo Chew, I listened to nursery rhymes 
sung by Grand parents, and enjoyed
the story embedded in it.
 
As nursery rhymes were recited to us when we are 
toddles, they were easily remembered.
It is possible for us to pass on some of them
to our the generations after if we make an effort.
 
Here is one of them in Teo Chew
which I still can recall:

=====天上一條雲One floating cloud was hanging across the sky=====

天上一條雲

One floating cloud was hanging across the sky

地下二隻船

Two boats were sailing side by side

一隻載鹦哥

One is carrying parrots

一隻載葡萄

The other is loaded with grapes

葡萄跤落水

Some grapes accidentally fell into the water

鹦哥跑去追

Parrots volunteered to rescue

追(不会) 起

However, they fail the task

投阿姊

And rushed to inform the elder sister

阿姊哭到面鸟鸟

The elder sister cried sadly and her face just turned black

投仙姑

Hence, they run to report to the fairy

仙姑没在厝

Unfortunately, the fairy was not in the heavenly lodge

投富富

In despair, they quickly informed the rich neighbourhoods

富富奶

The rich were all milk feeding

满家满厝生阿弟

And good news travel fast:

All the household and the families in the neighbourhood were celebrating the arrival of new baby BOYS!

One floating cloud was hanging across the sky

Two boats were getting ready to set off

One is carrying parrots

The other is loaded with grapes

Some grapes accidentally fell into the water

Parrots volunteered to rescue

However, the efforts of the parrots were in vain

They quickly rush to inform the elder sister

The elder sister cried sadly and her face just turned black

Hence, they run to report to the fairy

Unfortunately, the fairy was not in the heavenly lodge

So they cast their hope onto the rich

The rich family were milking

All the household and all the families were announcing the joyful news and celebrating the arrival of new born baby BOYS!
