Every morning, Elowen zipped across Sunshower Bridge and painted six rainbow stripes before the cloud bells rang ding-ding. She wanted today’s arch finished faster than ever, so her brush swished red, orange, yellow through the misty air.

Elowen’s knees tickled, but she held her brush high and dashed to the waiting cloud. She painted one bright teal dot on the raindrop so its family could spot it. Plip-plip-plip, they cheered! Can you find the brave little splash that helped Elowen finish before the cloud bells rang ding-ding?
