The Rainbow Bridge

Once upon a time, in a small village by the mountains, there lived a little girl named Mei. Mei loved to paint, and her favorite thing to paint was rainbows. One rainy day, after a big storm, the biggest, brightest rainbow appeared in the sky. Mei ran outside with her paintbrush and paper. "I wish I could walk on that rainbow!" she said. Suddenly, a soft voice spoke. "You can, if you believe." Mei looked around and saw a small white rabbit with sparkly eyes. "Who are you?" she asked. "I'm Yuki, the Rainbow Guardian," said the rabbit. "Would you like to visit the Rainbow Bridge?" Mei nodded excitedly. Yuki touched her paintbrush with his paw, and it began to glow. "Paint a path," he said. Mei painted colorful steps in the air, and they became real! She climbed up, up, up until she reached the rainbow. It was soft like clouds and warm like sunshine. On the Rainbow Bridge, Mei met children from all over the world - Kofi from Ghana, Maria from Mexico, and Amir from India. Each child had come through their own rainbow. "Every rainbow is a bridge that connects us all," Yuki explained. "When you share kindness, you make the rainbow stronger." The children played games, shared stories, and painted together. When it was time to go home, Mei felt happy. She had made friends from around the world. Now, whenever Mei sees a rainbow, she remembers that we are all connected by kindness and friendship, no matter where we come from.
