The other day it started raining.
Between the rain clouds the sun popped its head out, creating a rainbow on the opposite side of the sky.
By chance, I happened to be very close to the rainbow, so I thought to myself...
There's a pot of gold to be found at the end of the rainbow. I'll probably never get a better chance than this to get my hands on it.
So I jumped on my moped and followed the country road towards the end of the rainbow.
Closer and closer I got before the bend in the road had me going in the wrong direction.
I stopped and leapt over the fence into the field.
By chance there was a horse in the field, so I jumped on its back and galloped toward the end of the rainbow.
I got ever closer and could see in the distance a bright shining light at the end of the rainbow.
As we jumped the hedgerow I lost my grip of the horse, which ran away, leaving me to run as fast as I could toward the end of the rainbow.
I got closer and closer. I could almost feel the pot of gold in my hands.
Then I tripped in a rut and twisted my ankle.
I dragged myself up and limped onward. Nothing was going to stop me now.
I climbed over a style, but fell on my bad ankle, landing in a bramble bush.
Scratched, bleeding and with a now totally sprained ankle I hobbled as fast as I could carry myself to the end of the rainbow.
And then I was there.
There it was, right in front of me. The end of the rainbow disappeared into a great golden pot, about 24 inches in diameter.
Gingerly I approached the pot, half expecting to be burnt or electrified should I touch it.
I touched it.
Nothing happened!
It was cold.
I looked closely and saw a lit on top of the pot.
My hand was shaking as I lifted the lid in anticipation.
Inside there was a bright light.
Through the gleam I saw a golden envelope.
I reached in, still half expecting to be struck down in the act.
I clasped my hands on the envelope and lifted it out of the pot as if it was a new born baby.
With the greatest of care I opened the envelope and retrieved a card.
My whole body was shivering now, as I knew that I was the first person in the history of man to actually reach the end of the rainbow and claim its reward.
As I stood there, the card in my hand, the pot and the rainbow faded away. They had done their job and their champion had finally arrived.
I opened the card and stared, dumb-struck at the gothic lettering before my eyes.
The ledgend on the card read.......
OTHER END!
