Lily loved rainbows. After every rain shower, she would stand by the window, eyes wide, watching the colors arc across the sky.
“I wonder where the rainbow ends,” she would whisper, tracing the colors with her finger.
One misty afternoon, as clouds parted and a new rainbow stretched across the sky, Lily’s curiosity pulled at her heart.
“I’m going to find it!” she declared.
Her mother smiled gently. “Remember, the rainbow is more than colors—it’s a path that leads to kindness, courage, and wonder.”
With a basket filled with snacks and a heart full of dreams, Lily set off across fields sparkling with raindrops.
As she reached the base of the rainbow, she gasped. A glowing bridge stretched before her, arching from one hill to another. Each color shimmered softly—red like strawberries, orange like sunsets, yellow like sunflowers, green like fresh leaves, blue like calm seas, indigo like deep skies, and violet like the petals of wildflowers.
“Hello, Lily,” a soft voice chimed from the red arch.
Lily’s eyes sparkled. “You can talk?”
“Yes!” the red arch giggled. “I’m Ruby Red, the color of warmth and courage. Walk with care and heart open wide.”
Lily stepped onto the bridge and felt a soft breeze carrying laughter and music.
As she walked along each arch, she met new friends.
On the orange arch stood a cheerful squirrel named Squeaky. “I love helping friends climb trees and find treats!” he chirped.
On the yellow arch sat a wise butterfly named Yara. “I guide flowers to bloom with sunshine,” she fluttered.
On the green arch stood a hummingbird named Hugo. “I carry the song of forests wherever I go,” he sang.
On the blue arch floated a gentle cloud named Cielo. “I bring soft rains to help plants grow,” he whispered.
On the indigo arch perched an owl named Orion. “I watch over sleepy woods with calm eyes,” he hooted softly.
On the violet arch danced a flower fairy named Vivia. “I spread kindness wherever petals bloom,” she giggled.
Lily giggled with joy as each friend shared their secret gifts. “How wonderful it is to be part of the rainbow!” she whispered.
“I’m learning that colors are like feelings,” she said aloud.
“And feelings are like seeds,” Vivia replied with a wink.
Before reaching the other side of the bridge, the rainbow shimmered brighter. “Now it’s your turn to carry kindness and courage back home,” the rainbow whispered.
Lily smiled, carrying a small pouch of seeds given by her friends.
As she reached the end of the bridge, the colors waved goodbye. “Whenever you share love, the rainbow shines again!” they sang.
Lily walked back home, her basket now full of flowers, laughter, and courage.
That night, as she lay in bed, she dream of bridges made of light, friendly animals, and colorful seeds that bloom into happiness wherever she goes.
