ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A YOUNG RAT NAMED ARTHUR WHO COULDN'T MAKE UP HIS MIND

WHENEVER THE OTHER RATS ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD LIKE TO GO OUT HUNTING WITH THEM HE WOULD ANSWER IN A SOFT VOICE I DON'T KNOW.

AND WHEN THEY SAID WOULD YOU RATHER STAY INSIDE HE WOULDN'T SAY YES OR NO EITHER.

HE'D ALWAYS AVOID MAKING A CHOICE

ONE FINE DAY HIS AUNT ZELDA APPEALED TO HIM NOW LOOK HERE

NO ONE IS GOING TO CARE ABOUT YOU IF YOU CARRY ON LIKE THIS

YOU HAVE NO MORE MIND OF YOUR OWN THAN A GREASY OLD BLADE OF GRASS

ARTHUR COUGHED AND LOOKED WISE AS USUAL BUT SAID NOTHING

DON'T YOU THINK SO SAID ZELDA STAMPING HER FOOT FOR SHE COULDN'T BEAR TO SEE THE POOR LITTLE RAT SO COLDBLOODED

I DON'T KNOW WAS ALL HE EVER ANSWERED

AND THEN HE'D WALK OFF TO THINK FOR AN HOUR OR MORE

ABOUT WHETHER HE WOULD STAY IN HIS HOLE IN THE GROUND OR GO UP INTO THE LOFT

ONE NIGHT THE RATS HEARD A LOUD NOISE

THEY LIVED IN A VERY DARK AND DREARY OLD PLACE

THE ROOF LET THE RAIN COME WASHING IN

MAKING SHALLOW POOLS ON THE MUDDY FLOOR.

THE BEAMS AND RAFTERS WERE ALL ROTTEN THROUGH

SO EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE STRUCTURE WAS QUITE UNSAFE

AT LAST ONE OF THE JOISTS GAVE WAY AND THE BEAMS FELL DOWN.

THE WALLS SHOOK AND THE CEILING COLLAPSED WITH A LOUD BANG

THE RATS SHRIEKED AND THEIR FUR STOOD ON END WITH FEAR AND HORROR

THIS WON'T DO SAID THEIR LEADER WITH A SCOWL

WE CAN'T STAY COOPED UP HERE ANY LONGER.

SO HE SENT OUT SCOUTS TO SEARCH FOR A NEW HOME

A LITTLE LATER ON IN THE EVENING THEY CAME BACK

HAVING FOUND AN OLD-FASHIONED BARN NEAR A STONE HOUSE WHERE THERE WOULD BE ROOM

BOARD AND FOOD FOR ALL OF THEM.

THERE THEY SAW A KINDLY MARE NAMED ALBERTA

A COW AND SOME BIRDS IN THE GARDEN WITH AN ELM TREE IN THE MIDDLE.

THE LEADER GAVE THE ORDER AT ONCE COMPANY FALL IN.

THE RATS CRAWLED OUT OF THEIR HOLES RIGHT AWAY AND THE SAD MOB STOOD ON THE FLOOR IN A LONG LINE

JUST THEN THE OLD RAT CAUGHT SIGHT OF YOUNG ARTHUR

HE WASN'T IN THE LINE AND HE WASN'T EXACTLY OUTSIDE IT

HE STOOD JUST NEARBY EARS PRICKED.

COME ON GET IN LINE GROWLED THE OLD RODENT UNAMUSED.

YOU ARE COMING TOO AREN’T YOU

I DON'T KNOW SAID ARTHUR CALMLY.

WHY THE IDEA OF IT YOU DON'T THINK IT'S SAFE HERE ANYMORE DO YOU

I'M NOT CERTAIN SAID ARTHUR UNDAUNTED.

THE ROOF MAY NOT FALL DOWN YET.

WELL SAID THE OLD RAT YOU WOULD BE STUPID NOT TO JOIN US.

THEN HE TURNED TO THE ASSEMBLED GROUP AND SHOUTED

RIGHT ABOUT FACE MARCH

AND THE LONG LINE MARCHED OUT OF THE BARN WHILE THE YOUNG RAT WATCHED THEM

I THINK I'LL GO TOMORROW HE SAID TO HIMSELF

BUT THEN AGAIN PERHAPS I WON'T

IT'S SO NICE AND SNUG HERE.

I GUESS I'LL GO BACK TO MY HOLE UNDER THE LOG FOR A WHILE BEFORE I MAKE UP MY MIND

BUT DURING THE NIGHT THERE WAS A BIG CRASH.

DOWN CAME BEAMS RAFTERS JOISTS — THE WHOLE BUSINESS IN A PILE OF RUBBLE

NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A FOGGY DEW.

SOME BOYS AND GIRLS RAN TO THE BARN AND A MAN IN BOOTS CAME TO VIEW THE DAMAGE.

IT SEEMED ODD THAT THE OLD BUILDING WAS NOT HAUNTED BY RATS.

BUT AT LAST ONE OF THE CHILDREN HAPPENED TO NUDGE A BOARD AND HE SAW A PUNY RAT

QUITE DEAD TAIL HALF IN AND HALF OUT OF HIS HOLE.

THUS THE COWARD GOT HIS DUE AND THERE WAS NO MOURNING FOR HIM

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A GIRL CALLED CINDERELLA

BUT EVERYONE CALLED HER CINDERS

CINDERS LIVED WITH HER MOTHER AND TWO STEPSISTERS CALLED LILY AND ROSA.

LILY AND ROSA WERE VERY UNFRIENDLY AND THEY WERE LAZY GIRLS.

THEY SPENT ALL THEIR TIME BUYING NEW CLOTHES AND GOING TO PARTIES

POOR CINDERS HAD TO WEAR ALL THEIR OLD HAND-ME-DOWNS

AND SHE HAD TO DO THE CLEANING

ONE DAY A ROYAL MESSENGER CAME TO ANNOUNCE A BALL

THE BALL WOULD BE HELD AT THE ROYAL PALACE IN HONOUR OF THE QUEENS ONLY SON PRINCE WILLIAm

LILY AND ROSA THOUGHT THIS WAS DIVINE

PRINCE WILLIAM WAS GORGEOUS AND HE WAS LOOKING FOR A BRIDE

THEY DREAMED OF WEDDING BELLS

WHEN THE EVENING OF THE BALL ARRIVED CINDERS HAD TO HELP HER SISTERS GET READY

THEY WERE IN A BAD MOOD

THEY'D WANTED TO BUY SOME NEW GOWNS BUT THEIR MOTHER SAID THAT THEY HAD ENOUGH GOWNS

SO THEY STARTED SHOUTING AT CINDERS

'FIND MY JEWELS' YELLED ONE

'FIND MY HAT' HOWLED THE OTHER

THEY WANTED HAIRBRUSHES HAIRPINS AND HAIR SPRAY

WHEN THE SUNLIGHT STRIKES RAINDROPS IN THE AIR THEY ACT AS A PRISM AND FORM A RAINbow

THE RAINBOW IS A DIVISION OF WHITE LIGHT INTO MANY BEAUTIFUL COLORS

THESE TAKE THE SHAPE OF A LONG ROUND ARCH WITH ITS PATH HIGH ABOVE AND ITS TWO ENds apparently beyond the horizon

THERE IS ACCORDING TO LEGEND A BOILING POT OF GOLD AT ONE END

PEOPLE LOOK BUT NO ONE EVER FINDS IT

WHEN A MAN LOOKS FOR SOMETHING BEYOND HIS REACH HIS FRIENDS SAY HE IS LOOKING FOR the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES PEOPLE HAVE EXPLAINED THE RAINBOW IN VARIOUS WAYS

SOME HAVE ACCEPTED IT AS A MIRACLE WITHOUT PHYSICAL EXPLANATION

TO THE HEBREWS IT WAS A TOKEN THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MORE UNIVERSAL FLOODS

THE GREEKS USED TO IMAGINE THAT IT WAS A SIGN FROM THE GODS TO FORETELL WAR OR HEAVy rain

THE NORSEMEN CONSIDERED THE RAINBOW AS A BRIDGE OVER WHICH THE GODS PASSED FROM EARth to their home in the sky

OTHERS HAVE TRIED TO EXPLAIN THE PHENOMENON PHYSICALLY

ARISTOTLE THOUGHT THAT THE RAINBOW WAS CAUSED BY REFLECTION OF THE SUN'S RAYS BY THe rain

SINCE THEN PHYSICISTS HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS NOT REFLECTION

BUT REFRACTION BY THE RAINDROPS WHICH CAUSES THE RAINBOWS

MANY COMPLICATED IDEAS ABOUT THE RAINBOW HAVE BEEN FORMED

THE DIFFERENCE IN THE RAINBOW DEPENDS CONSIDERABLY UPON THE SIZE OF THE DROPS

AND THE WIDTH OF THE COLORED BAND INCREASES AS THE SIZE OF THE DROPS INCREASES

THE ACTUAL PRIMARY RAINBOW OBSERVED

IS SAID TO BE THE EFFECT OF SUPER-IMPOSITION OF A NUMBER OF BOWS.

IF THE RED OF THE SECOND BOW FALLS UPON THE GREEN OF THE FIRST

THE RESULT IS TO GIVE A BOW WITH AN ABNORMALLY WIDE YELLOW BAND

SINCE RED AND GREEN LIGHT WHEN MIXED FORM YELLOW

THIS IS A VERY COMMON TYPE OF BOW

ONE SHOWING MAINLY RED AND YELLOW
