Rainbow Passage
When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act like a prism
and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into
many beautiful colours. These take the shape of a long round arch,
with its path high above, and its two ends apparently beyond the
horizon. There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one
end. People look, but no one ever fi nds it. When a man looks for
something beyond reach, his friends say he is looking for the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow.
TIP:
Alternative to the ‘Rainbow Passage’ - Can also count
backwards from 100 as long as it’s out loud and lasts 1 minute.
