whose clothes made him look like green
leaf as he filtered along beside them.
The green. Gnome knew they would
never find the end Of the rainbow and he
knew also a great deal about happiness,
and so he ran beside them.
When Enrol and Tanis reached the
other side Of the woods where they thought
the rainbow would end and they should
find the pot of gold they began TO cry
for fading away IN the pink behind the
distant mountain was the rainbow almost
gone from sight.

Perhaps we can find something better

The briars tore Tanis skirt and scratch

unseen by their side.

soon the children, following him, saw a
licht streaming from the window OF a
cottage in the distance.
It has their own home they saw.
There Is the place TO hEd golden

Enrol and Tanis were 50 surprised and
