Report and Narrative Text

Once upon a time, there lived a Cloud family. Papa Cloud, Mama Cloud and the Cloud children lived quietly in the sky.

Every morning, the Cloud children went to the sky playground to play on the slide. Since there was only one slide, they had to take turns on the slide. Lody, the youngest Cloud child, looked impatient. He could not wait for his turn to come. His brother, Tody, didn't like his attitude. Suddenly, they quarrelled. Their white bodies became grey. It meant they were very angry. When the clouds were angry, water usually came out of their bodies. It meant rain for the people on Earth.

"Stop it, children! Stop fighting!" Papa Cloud said.

"You can play on the slide in turns. Now, shake hands. Both of you!" ordered Papa Cloud.

The ocean can glow and glitter like the stars in the sky because a natural chemical process known as bioluminescence, which allows living things to produce light in their body. Marine creatures like some fish, squid, tiny crustaceans and algae produce bioluminescence to either confuse predators, attract prey or even lure potential mates.

Humans can witness this natural phenomenon when there is lots of bioluminescence in the water, usually from an algae bloom of plankton. The bioluminescent sea will glow when it’s disturbed by a wave breaking or a splash in the water at night.

Algae bloom Sea sparkle events are caused by calm and warm sea conditions. But you can see specks of bioluminescence when it’s created nearby by a light-producing marine creature.
