Once upon a time, in a land painted with sunshine and smiles, lived a butterfly named Rainbow.

Rainbow wasn't just any butterfly. Oh no, her wings shimmered with every color imaginable, like a thousand tiny rainbows had come together just for her!

She flitted and fluttered from flower to flower, her wings tickling the petals and spreading joy wherever she went.

One day, while fluttering past the sparkling sea, Rainbow heard a tiny voice crying, "Boo hoo!"

"Don't worry," said Rainbow, her wings fluttering with determination. "I'll help you find your home!"
