Lorikeets were all white birds; they were accustomed to getting picked on for how white they were.
One day a lorikeet went for his morning fly, flapping his wings in the breezes. Out of nowhere, he saw a rainbow! He’d heard a story; if you go through the rainbow you will get colours.
He thought, “It’s a white lie.”
He was in a hurry. He dashed through the rainbow.
When he got to the other side, he was astonished to find that he had colours!
He called his bird friends saying, “Look, I have colours, look, I have colours!”
All of the birds thought he was a parrot. He flew all over the place saying, “I am a lorikeet, not a parrot!”
He perched on a branch and thought, “What can I do? He thought and thought. After all that thinking, he had an idea:
He would go through the rainbow again and maybe he would become white again!
He closed his eyes and flew through the rainbow.
But sadly nothing happened.

Beautiful story Iris. I’m looking forward to read what happened next. Jennie
