Lily sat on the welcome mat on her
front porch looking across her wet yard.
The rain had just stopped, and a beautiful rainbow had appeared in the
sky.
“I
wonder what it would be like to walk over a rainbow,” Lily said to herself.
She
closed her eyes and pretended she was walking on top of the rainbow. It was made out of colored bricks. From the top of the rainbow she could
see for miles. She could see her
house and her grandma’s house. She
could see the store and the park where she loved to play.
In the park she
spied something behind a tree.
Could it be? It was a
dragon. Lily spread her arms and
flew through the air to the park.
She landed next to the tree where the dragon was hiding.
“Hello,” Lily
called to the dragon. The dragon
did not come out. “I won’t hurt
you.”
The dragon
carefully stepped toward Lily while she held out her hand. When the dragon came close enough, Lily
rubbed its scaly nose.
“Would you like to
fly with me to the rainbow?” Lily asked the dragon. The dragon nodded and the two friends flew together until
they landed on the top of the brick rainbow. They sat together and watched the world beneath them.
Lily woke up from
her lovely daydream and sighed. “I
wish I really could sit on top of a brick rainbow,” she said as she went back
into her house.
