Read or listen to the story

Normal

It rained all morning. Then the sun came out. We looked at the sky. We saw a rainbow. It was huge. It had so many colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and more. We pointed at it. We ran outside to see it better. It was beautiful. It looked like a bridge in the sky. We tried to find where it ended. We could not. Then the clouds moved. The rainbow got lighter. Then it went away. We will remember it.
