Everybody left me.  The window was closed, it was raining outside.  Suddenly the sun shone through the slit of the window. As I opened it I saw a rainbow among the clouds. I gave an unexpected smile. Colours, how beautiful they are! Soon everything was funny and better.  It’s incredible how a set of colours forming an arch in the sky is able to make a diference inside yourself.  While I observed this fabulous image I began to imagine a trip beyond those colours. Is there the possibility of existing a pot of gold coins at its end? What about the elves? Is there anyone around it?  Distracted by these questions, I found myself flying in the direction of the rainbow. I travelled all the way through the colours. Suddenly, I arrived in a very beautiful forest. But it was very strange, empty and full of strange sounds.  I saw figures in front of me. As a matter of fact, they were very little. Behind the shrub I saw a little city.  Uau! That was incredible, it was the little elves’ city!  When they saw me, they all hid themselves, scared.  I said: “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you, I wanna know where I am!”  One of them, out of a little and beautiful house and smiled at me. He had pointed ears, long nose and wore green clothes with a hat. Came to me and said that I was in an enchanted world, which is in the rainbow.  Uau! I was in the elves’ little city. But where was the pot of gold coins? The elf asked me to pick him up with my hands and looking into my eyes, he said: “The pot of gold coins that you are looking for in inside of you. Each memory and joy symbolizes the coins that are in the pot. You are the only one that can fill the pot and have this wealth kept for all your life. The rainbow represents the way you have to go during your life. When the sky is cloudy it will mean a challenge that you will have to face. Whenever you face it and win, the sky will open up and among the clouds the rainbow will arise again for you. Therefore, your problems will be gone!”  Smiling, he jumped out of my hands and I found myself at the window again. It was a dream!  I understood what the elf said.  When I looked at the garden, my friends were there.  I sorted out my problem, I was not alone. My friends were waiting for me.  Hey! That shrub is moving!  Oh Gosh! It’s the elf!
