It was raining outside. Anandi was fast asleep dreaming of rainbows. She woke up to look out of her window. There was a huge, bright rainbow across a clear blue sky. Anandi ran out to the garden with Milli, her favourite cat. Anandi loved to draw and paint.
Today, she wanted to paint the flowers of her garden with the colours of the rainbow. She coloured one flower with the violet, and another with the indigo of the rainbow. One with the blue and leaves with the green... One with the orange... One with the red... But she left the yellow so that the Sun may look bright and gay... And lo! There were beautiful flowers all over the garden. The Sun was up there shining in its yellow glory.
After giving colours to the flowers and the Sun, the rainbow was gone...
