Dusk was setting in, but Cobalt was determined to keep searching for his special friend, the rainbow. It was almost too dark to see the sky. "Maybe he's hiding under the magical waterfall," Cobalt thought to himself.

Cobalt rubbed his hair in the moss of an old stump and in a twinkling, arrived at the base of the waterfall. Gazing into the pond, he saw a glint of light. Looking closer, Cobalt saw beautiful colors shimmering on the water.

"I've found one!" he cried excitedly, tossing his head into the air. Many different colors came shooting out of his rainbow hair like fireworks.

Cobalt galloped along the water's edge watching the beautiful colors dance in the moonlit pond. He was so excited he woke up Sunshine to show her. Sunshine only smiled because she knew that this time the rainbow was only a reflection on Cobalt's beautiful rainbow-colored hair.

#### **German Backcard Story**

Einmal wollte Blue Gem seinen Freund, den Regenbogen, besuchen. "Vielleicht versteckt er sich unter dem magischen Wasserfall", dachte er. Und als er hinschaute, sah er viele wundervolle Farben im Wasser leuchten. "Ich fand ihn!" Er schüttelte entzückt den Kopf und seine Mähne funkelte und leuchtete wie ein buntes Feuerwerk. In seiner Erregung weckte er Hummeln. Aber Hummelchen lachte nur, weil sie wusste, dass der Regenbogen nur das Spiegelbild von Blue Gems wunderbar regenbogenfarbenem Haar war.

Ouranos Once upon a time, in the magical land of hamsters, the beautiful Kováltio and her little bird lived in a place named Castle Of The Sky. The Castle Of The Sky had the bright color of pink roses, and its towers were deep blue, like the sky in springtime When Kováltio was about to celebrate her *Nameday*, her little bird gave orders for all the gates of the Castle to open widely, for the bridge to lower to the ground and for the trumpets to announce the Celebration. Those news would spread immediately to the corners of the Earth. And then, the Fairytale Hamsters along with the Star Hamsters would put on their very best outfits, comb their short fur nicely and, shining of beauty and grace, they would go to the Castle of the Sky to honor pretty Little Princess.

Star Hamsters would adorn the celebration with their dazzling looks with incomparably graceful, while Fairytale Hamsters would add splendor to the event. Kyanós (Cerulean) put sunbeams on her hair, stars adorned Fuschia (Fuscia), and Grothiá (Punch) went to the celebration with her marvelous rainbow hair floating while she ran over the grass. Asvestos (Lime), the most caressing of all Star Hamsters, having her pretty musical notes on, went to the event accompanied by fabulous Ládi (Oil). The faster of all Hamsters, Chrysó (Gold), always arrived first, contrary to Marmeláda (Jam) who was usually late.
