When a person asks you why you did something, what do you say? Maybe, you don’t know what to say. This happens to everyone sometimes. For example, your little brother might ask why you borrowed his book, but you didn’t take it, and you’re good at keeping track of things. You probably wouldn’t get it, and you probably wouldn’t know what to say. In this situation, the cat has got your tongue.

If the weather is sunny and rainy at the same time, you might see a rainbow in the atmosphere! Rainbows have seven colors. Do you know all of them? Some people use the name ROY G. BIV to remember the colors we see in a rainbow. Each letter in the name is a color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. We see these colors when the sun shines through the rain or mist.

There are many different stories about rainbows. In Ireland, people believed there was a pot of gold (and maybe a leprechaun!) at the end of a rainbow. In Eastern Europe, people believed you could change from a man to a woman, or a woman to a man, if you walked under a rainbow. In Italy, the colors of the rainbow were a sign of peace.
