In a magical place, there were tiny creatures called Rainbow Ribbons. They lived in the sky and made rainbows with their colors. Each one had a special color and power. They made beautiful rainbows together.

One day, they were making a rainbow, but a naughty cloud named Stormy messed it all up. The colors went everywhere, and the rainbow was ruined. The Rainbow Ribbons were very surprised and didn’t know what to do.

They decided to work as a team to fix the rainbow. The pink Ribbon made Stormy calm, and the yellow Ribbon made him laugh. The blue Ribbon and the green Ribbon helped get the colors back in the right place.

After working together, the Rainbow Ribbons made an even prettier rainbow. People on Earth looked up and said, “Wow!” The Rainbow Ribbons learned that by helping each other, they could make something really special, even when things go wrong. When we see a rainbow, we remember the Rainbow Ribbons and how important it is to work together.
