A star fairy once strayed onto the Earth. Attracted by the beautiful sight, she dashed into a tree.
her wing torn and fell down, unconscious. A farmer
found the divine creature and took great care of her,
Inevitably the fairy and the farmer fell in love, so they
got married and had a child.
Nevertheless every night the fairy looked at
the stars and thought about her family and friends.
One day, she decided to pay them a visit, and took
her son with her. When she reached the star kingdom, the king was furious at her for straying too far,
and took away her wings from her. She couldn’t go
back to her husband and felt really miserable. She
looked down the river near their house for hours. The
farmer was too. He stood on its bank, waiting for his
wife and child to return.
One day, the king saw the lovesick couple,
and took pity on them. He made a bridge of seven
gleaming colours so that the fairy could climb down
and spend a few precious moments with the farmer.
Today other humans call the bridge a rainbow.
