The Rainbow Machine

It was raining, but the sun was shining at the same time.The children looked up and saw a rainbow across the sky.

"I wonder where the rainbow begins?" asked Wilf, "and where it ends?"

In a place far away, there was a lorry. It was a very big lorry because on the back was a very big machine.The machine made rainbows and was called The Rainbow Machine.

There are seven colours in the rainbow. It took seven people to look after the rainbow machine.They cleaned it and polished it and they made sure it worked properly.

The rainbow machine had to be ready at any time.Sometimes weeks and weeks went by and a rainbow was not needed.But when the call came, the rainbow makers had to work fast.

Off they went in the lorry. While it was going along, the rainbow makers got the machine ready.Then, one... two... three... Go! They pressed a button and the rainbow shot out of the machine.

When there was a rainbow, everyone stopped to look at it.Children ran to their mums or dads and said, "What a beautiful rainbow!"

Sometimes the rainbow was very bright but sometimes it was quite pale. Often the children ran towards it.They wanted to find the end of it, and play in all the colours. But, of course, they never could.

One of the rainbow makers was a young man called Fred.He was new and he was learning to be a rainbow maker.One day, the other rainbow makers said, "Look after the lorry, Fred. We won't be long."

The lorry was on a double yellow line. Fred saw a traffic warden.

"Oh no!" said Fred. "I must move the rainbow machine."

So he climbed into the driver's cab and drove away.

Fred drove the lorry along the road.

"This is fun," he said. "But I'd better not be too long."

He wanted to turn the lorry round, so he drove into a field.

Oh no! The lorry stuck in the mud. The wheels spun round and round and the lorry sank deeper and deeper.

"Now what shall I do?" thought Fred.

Suddenly, there was a door in the field. Biff and Chip came through it with Wilf, Nadim and Anneena.Biff had the magic key. A new adventure had begun.

The children saw that a lorry was stuck in the field. Then they saw Fred.

"Can you help me?" called Fred. "Will you push the lorry?"

The children pushed, but it was no good.The lorry was too big, and it was far too heavy.Suddenly, it began to rain even though the sun was shining.

On the lorry, things began to buzz and flash.
