Nina’s Rainbow

One bright morning, Nina got out of bed and looked out the window to discover a great spectacle!

A colorful and beautiful Rainbow!

she was excited “Mommy! Daddy! come quickly to see the wonder!  But before they could reach the window, clouds were covered and the rainbow disappeared from the sky.

Nina was sad how did we miss her?  I want to draw you the rainbow as a gift!

Mommy said – “Nina Don’t worry Dad has a solution especially for you! ”

Dad said – “I have a rainbow recipe! We will embark on a journey to collect groceries and together we will gather all the ingredients!”

Nina smiled and shouted in a big voice “come on let’s start the day!”

Dad took out an old book from the closet and started to browse to the last page.

“The first element we need is the orange color” ,he said.

“come on let’s stert looking!”

Nina walked on the orchard paths and met a little redhead cat.  Immediately she said- “you are exactly the color I was looking for!” the little cat stared at her misunderstood.

She politely asked- “Do you want to be part of my rainbow?  The cat howled happily and said “of course! but, i want you to give me a glass of milk!”

daddy was happy at the sight of the cat! let’s drink milk he say.

the little cat sipped the milk and purr with joy.

what now daddy? what’s the next ingredient in the recipe?

“now we need yellow!” daddy sey.

Nina went out on a path leading to the fields she smiled to the sun all the way till she met a huge sunflower.

She politely asked, would you like to be part of my rainbow?  The sunflower said, i will do it happily!  but i want to sing a song i wrot on the way back.

Nina agreed and watch the sunflower singing performence.

“Come on Nina we have a lot of work ahead!” Dad mentioned, “there is the color purple to look for!”

Nina went out to the nearby market where she met the vegetable vendor.  “hello, can i talk with Mr.eggplant?” she said,

“Im right here!” he shouted from the shelf.

“Would you like to be part of rainbow?”

The eggplant smilled “of course! I would be happy. but , i want to be sure that in the house, the air conditioner is on! being all day in the heat of the sun even witout sunscreen on!

Nina laughed “of cours!  She took the eggplant hand and they went home together.

“we have to hurry before it gets dark”,mommy called.

Blue color is what you need now!

She walked far across the mountain and right there in the lake she met a new friend-the cute dolphin.

“Hello Dolphin, I like your cristal blue lake! Will you be generous and give me some of it for my rainbow?

the dolphin answerd-“sure! But, I would love for you to give me a gift in return!  a picture for my living room wall!”

immediately she sat drawing him a painting “it will be wonderful” she said.

“new i can redecorate!” he splashed around.

the dolphin put the blue color in bottle and gave it to Nina.

“thank you so much!”

she run home as fast as she can, tired but happy.

“daddy, now what color is missing?”

“Now we have just reached the end of the recipe,

the last color missing is- green! ”

“where can the green color be found?” Nina wes exhausted.

she reached out to the yard and while she think to herself

a wind blew on her face a little leaf.

and the water should make a shower for a dolphin.
