Story
Once upon a time, in a magical forest, there lived a tiny fairy named Flicker. She loved to fly around the forest, her wings shimmering in the sunlight. Flicker had a special friend named Nibbles, a curious squirrel who loved to explore. One day, Flicker spotted a colorful rainbow arching beautifully across the sky.
The rainbow’s secret
“Look, Nibbles!” Flicker exclaimed. “It’s a sparkling rainbow! It’s said that whoever catches it gets a wish!” Excited, Nibbles twitched his bushy tail. “Let’s catch it together!” he said, hopping on the branches.
The journey begins
Together, they set off on an adventure. Flicker flew gracefully while Nibbles scurried through the tall trees. The forest was full of wonders, with butterflies fluttering and birds singing. They had to cross a gently flowing stream. Flicker zipped over it, and Nibbles leaped from stone to stone.
Reaching the rainbow
Finally, they reached the end of the forest and saw the rainbow touching a field of flowers. “We did it!” Flicker cheered. They both touched the rainbow and made a wish from their hearts. “I wish for more adventures and happiness for us,” Flicker wished. “I wish for our friendship to last forever,” said Nibbles.
And as they made their wishes, the rainbow glowed even more brightly, sparkling like never before. Flicker and Nibbles knew they would have many more adventures together.
The end.
