Albert and his mum and dad go walking one day in the mountains. Unfortunately, Albert slips and disappears over the edge of a cliff; his parents are very upset. Albert is lucky though - the Cloud Children see his fall and speak the magic words ("They either said, Fumble gralley goggle ho hee", or "Teetum waggle bari se nee", or was it "Gargle giggle fiddle num dee?") that make Albert light enough to float among the clouds, with them. Albert sleeps that night drifting in the sky. The next day, Albert and the Cloud Children have lots of fun: jumping off tall clouds, making as much noise as they can in the thunderstorm, swimming in the rain, painting pictures next to the rainbow and walking on the filmy traces left by passing aircraft. When Albert wants to go home again, the Queen arranges for his cloud to drift near his home, and for him to gently float down - but not before they all have feasted with the Man in the Moon!


有一天，艾伯特跟爸爸媽媽到山裡健行，他卻不幸失足滑下懸崖；爸爸媽媽為此傷心不已，不過艾伯特非常幸運，他摔下斷崖時正好被「雲之子」看到，「雲之子」趕緊唸了咒語（「摸摸葛里歌歌吼嘿」，或是「蒂蒂搖搖巴里西尼」，也可能是「咕嚕咯咯費斗納迪」），於是，艾伯特變得好輕好輕，可以跟他們一起在雲間遨遊！那天晚上，艾伯特飄浮在雲海間香甜入睡，隔天，他跟「雲之子」一起玩耍，好不開心呢！他們從高高的雲朵一躍而下，在雷雨中盡情歡呼，在雨霧中悠游，也在彩虹旁畫畫、在淡淡的飛機雲上漫步。而當艾伯特想回家時，「雲之女王」讓他坐在小雲上，慢慢地、輕輕地飄回家，不過在此之前，他們還不忘參加「月球人」的盛宴呢！
