THE RAINBOW
The sunshine fairies were having a party. Dressed in their prettiest frocks, they were racing in and out among the clouds.
Along came the Rain Man with his heavy water-can.
"Out of my way, little fairies," he called. "I do not wish to spoil your pretty frocks. Run behind my black curtain, and from there you may peep at the little dusty earth children, as I pour out their shower bath from my great can. Now I have finished. Good-bye."Back danced the fairies from behind the curtain, each carrying a long ribbon of sunshine.
One strip was red, one orange, one yellow, one blue, one green, and the last purple.
"Let us join them together," they all cried. "They will make a lovely skipping rope." They skipped and played, until Father Sun called, "To bed, children!" and he blew out the lights.
