Hello and welcome back to Kuala Moon, a podcast of original children's bedtime stories and meditations, designed to make bedtime a dream.

I have a question for you. Do you know the reason it is that balloons float up and away like they do?

It's because they're filled with a gas called helium.

Helium is special because it's a lot lighter than the gases that make up our normal air,

gases like oxygen and nitrogen. And when something is lighter

than something else, it floats, just like a rubber duck in a bathtub full of water. That's why,

when a balloon is filled up with helium, it will float in the air. Isn't that cool? There is one thing

that I'm not sure about, though, and that's this.

All those blooms that people have accidentally let slip from their grasp

and which have floated up and off into the sky.

Where do they go?

Well, luckily in today's story we're about to find out.

Before we begin, a quick message for the grown-ups.
