Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big and impressive rainbow in the sky. It had many colors and it was very bright.
"Wow, look at the rainbow!" Tom said. "It is so pretty!"
"I want to touch it!" Lily said. "Maybe it has magic!"
They ran towards the rainbow, hoping to reach it. But the rainbow was very far away. They had to step over rocks and puddles and grass. They got tired and wet and dirty.
"Are we there yet?" Tom asked. "I can't see the rainbow anymore!"
"Me neither!" Lily said. "Maybe it is hiding!"
They stopped and looked around. They were lost. They did not know where their home was. They felt scared and sad.
"Mommy! Daddy!" they cried. "Where are you?"
They heard a voice. It was their dog, Spot. He had followed them from their home. He barked and wagged his tail. He was happy to see them.
"Spot!" Tom and Lily said. "You found us!"
They hugged their dog and followed him back to their home. Their parents were waiting for them. They were worried and angry.
"Where have you been?" Mommy asked. "We were looking for you!"
"We were chasing the rainbow!" Tom said.
"We wanted to touch it!" Lily said.
Mommy and Daddy shook their heads. They explained to Tom and Lily that rainbows are not things you can touch. They are made by light and water in the sky. They are beautiful, but they are not magic.
They also told them that they should never run away from home without telling them. They said that it was dangerous and foolish. They said that they loved them and wanted them to be safe.
Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said they were sorry. They hugged their parents and thanked Spot for saving them.
They learned their lesson. They never chased rainbows again. They still liked to look at them, but they knew they were better off at home.
