The Story of the Rainbow
Seven stars in many colours slid down from the sky and fell on the Earth. They tried to rise again on the sky but they foiled.
They started to cry. The tears of the blue star painted the seas and the sky, the grass and the forest borrowed the green star's colour. The world became more and more beautiful.
The stars asked the animals for helping them to reach the sky back.
Only spider -king had a saving idea: to spin a thread of their made own tears for seven years. Them being on the top of the highest mountain, they should raise a bridge made of the cloth of their tears. In this way they will be able to go back home, on the sky.
And so they did.
From that day, after every rain the Earth- people remember the story, of the seven stars.
A seven colours bridge joins the Earth and the Sky.
