Rosie The Rabbit and the Rainbow Rainstorm
Rosie Rabbit woke up to a bright, sunny morning. She stretched her paws, blinked at the blue sky, and smiled wide.
“Today is picnic day!” she said happily.
She had spent all week planning the perfect picnic.
She packed crunchy carrot sticks, fluffy lettuce rolls, juicy berries, and her favourite dandelion lemonade.
She even made flower crowns for her friends and picked the perfect spot beneath the tall willow tree.
Rosie bounced across the meadow, her basket swinging by her side. But as she reached the picnic spot, something changed.
The wind blew cold.
Dark clouds crept across the sky.
Drip... drop... drip.
Then WHOOSH!
The rain came pouring down.
Rosie stood still, her ears drooping.
Her blanket was soaked, her food was soggy, and her crown of daisies flopped sadly onto her nose.
“This isn’t fair,” she whispered. “I wanted everything to be perfect.”
She turned to go home, dragging her paws behind her.
But then she heard a giggle.
It was Pippa Mouse, splashing in a puddle.
“Come on, Rosie!” Pippa called. “The puddles are brilliant!”
Next came Freddie Fox, sliding down a muddy slope with a squeal of laughter.
Toby Toad was already hopping from puddle to puddle, his webbed feet splashing rainbow drops into the air.
Rosie stopped. She was still wet. Her basket was still soggy.
But something inside her said, maybe this could still be fun.
She stepped into a puddle, just a small one.
SPLASH!
Water flew up and tickled her whiskers.
She giggled.
She bounced into another puddle.
SPLASH! SPLASH!
Soon she was racing with Freddie, dancing with Pippa, and splashing alongside Toby, their laughter filling the meadow.
And just as the rain began to slow, Rosie looked up and gasped.
A bright, shimmering rainbow stretched across the sky, arching over the meadow like a magical bridge.
All the animals stopped and stared. It was more beautiful than any flower crown, more colourful than any picnic rug.
Rosie smiled the biggest smile.
“I thought today was ruined,” she said softly. “But maybe it turned out even better.”
And from that day on, whenever Rosie saw a raincloud, she packed her wellies… just in case there was a rainbow waiting.
