Rainbow Millie sat under the apple tree and watched the rain clouds sweep over the hills.

What a wet day.

She ate an apple and waited for the rain to stop.

Soon it did.

The sky turned blue again on the sun shone warm and golden.

Then she saw the rainbow.

It began as an explosion of light high in the clouds, sky filled with dazzling colors blue, orange, green and purple.

Then both ends of the rainbow began to fool toe earth.

The rainbow landed in the garden.

Millie went closer and touched the rainbow.

She felt nothing just but the colors moved beneath her fingers.

When she looked up, the rainbow seemed to be stretching on and on into space.

What would happen if I stepped inside it?

She wondered.

There was only one way to find out.

She stepped inside.

It was beautiful and very quiet.

Millie couldn't hear anything.

She looked up.

The rainbow seemed to go on forever.

Bush Milly was sucked up by the rainbow.

It was a tunnel of light.

She whizzed along like a button.

Upper vacuum cleaner.

Wind whistled past her ears.

She tumbled over and over, but didn't hurt herself.

She was carried on a soft cushion of that up on Duh Onda up She went so fast But rainbows go up on drain Bows come down Soon she was falling down the far side of the rainbow She could see green below Greengrass rushing up to meet her faster and faster Oh, she landed hard but nothing was broken Millie stood up She was on the other side of the valley standing on a steep Greenhill She could see her house far away.

It was like a tiny white box with a rainbow in the garden.

Everything was calm and peaceful and very lovely.

Suddenly she was shooting back through the rainbow faster than a firework.

Red blue, yellow stripes of light flashing by Up, up, up She went and down, down, down She landed back in her own garden Oh, committee groaned I'm going to be so bruised tomorrow.

Then she had a thought Both There is always go at the end of a rainbow She dropped to her knees and started to dig the earth flew out behind her, covering the glass with stones and soil.

Come on, come on!

It must be here somewhere she went deeper and deeper.

Then she saw something shiny under her fingertips.

She pulled it out, guv.

Many stared at it, breathless with excitement.

It was a golden coin.

Bigger than usual money and much heavier.

She rubbed it clean.

There were words written on it.

Make a wish before the rainbow fades.

Oh, wow.

She said This is amazing.

Ah, Wish her head's began to fill with ideas.

Everything she could wish for.

But then she saw something.

The rainbow was starting to fate.

It was going thin at the edges.

No, I haven't made up my mind.

Please wait.

But the rainbow didn't wait.

It was fading.

Going away and taking her wish with it.

No, I'll make my wish soon.

Just a moment, please.

But still the rainbow was fading.

Golden coin was getting hot in her hand.

Oh, choose, Choose!

Yes, Yes, I have it.

Millie.

Close their eyes and made her wish on DDE.

The rainbow disappeared and so did the golden coin.

Millie hardly dare to move.

Had her wish come true.

Maybe she looked up.

The sky was peacock blue.

The sun was golden warm on her face.

Such a beautiful day Such a beautiful world, even if the wish doesn't come true.

I am a very lucky girl, she said, and she smiled.
