Rita Rainbow
Rita Rainbow (first published on Red Monster)
Rita the Rainbow skipped across the hillside chasing the rain shadow; she wanted a shower but the rain always just ran away from her. Behind her the sun smiled shyly and pretended not to be watching every time Rita looked up at her.
After a while Rita began to get tired and the hills were running out. Instead a vast array of Blue Ocean lay before her. It looked so lovely and she was sure she could bathe in it. And so she jumped and she dived and she splashed into the glittering water and to her surprise Rita the Rainbow broke into hundreds of small darting rainbows and these swam around happily.
Later on they missed being a rainbow and swam together around a small island. Some of the fish stopped swimming but other swam around and around and they found they were a rainbow once more. And so the Coral Sea was born.
