NUMBER SEVEN

There's a multi-coloured bridge
Spread across a little stream,

It's like something from a dream.

It was our friend Number Seven,
Who gave us this rainbow,
To put a smile on people's faces,
Everywhere they go.

They argued for a long time, each one thinking their colour was the best.

When she heard the boys arguing, the rainbow felt upset. She had always thought people loved all seven of her colours. The rainbow was so hurt, she faded away completely, and people became sad.

‘What shall I do? I hurt the rainbow's feelings,' one of the boys said miserably.
