Children's Story

Mr. Fox and Mrs. Duck decided to go to the lake.

On their way, they ran into Mr. Butterfly.

“Hey guys, where ya goin’?” Asked Mr. Butterfly.

“To the lake! Would you like to come?” Said Mrs. Duck.

“I’d love to come, but why are you going now? It is going to rain,” Mr. Butterfly noted.

“But it’s sunny!” Said Mr. Fox.

Mr. Butterfly looked at the sky and said, “look! There’s a rainbow overhead!”

“Let’s go find the end of the rainbow! There is gold there!”

Mr. Fox, Mrs. Duck, and Mr. Butterfly went looking for the end of the rainbow.

On their way, they ran into an evil snake.

“Sssssssoooo… What bringsssss you three onto my territory?” the snake hissssed.

“Oh no! We’re so sorry, we were just passing through. Really, we mean no trouble,” promised Mrs. Duck.

“Sssssssuree. Thatssss what they all ssssssay. I sssshould bite you all,” the snake said.

Mr. Fox extended his paw. “Look, we didn’t mean to upset you. We’re trying to go to the end of this rainbow. Would you like to come with us?”

The snake was puzzled. No one had ever asked him to do anything with them! Everyone was afraid of him.

Mrs. Duck smiled and said, “yeah, it’d be fun! Come join us!”

The snake decided that maybe these three weren’t so bad. “Sssssureee, I’ll come. Letssss go find thissss rainbow!”

The four of them continued their journey, until they found the end of the rainbow. They dug and dug and dug, but no treasure?

“Hmmm,” mused Mr. Butterfly, “maybe the treasure isn’t gold. Maybe it’s something better?”

“Like what?” wondered Mr. Fox.

“Friendssssship,” said the snake.
