Long ago there was a Queen called The Queen of Rainbows. She was the prettiest being in the world.

Whenever she was upset, she would make the rainbows give us nightmares. The good rainbows gave us sweet dreams.



There was a man called Ricky Bobby. He said to the Queen that his wife is prettier than her. The Queen was so mad she told Ricky to leave the Country.



Ricky had a big adventure. He fought an evil Hippo and a Cyclops on the Hippo’s back.




He had to sleep in the forest and cook his own food but he wasn’t used of doing it because his wife always did it for him.


The Queen said his family could not go with him. As Ricky was walking, he saw a shiny, sparkly object on the hill. It was a diamond.


He thought he should give the diamond to the queen as an apology, but he knew his adventure back would take days.



When Ricky was walking back to the Country he saw a Eleorsake. It is an Elephant, Horse and a Snake mixed together.



He didn’t know what to do so he just passed it and went and went on.




When it was nighttime, he was about to arrive at the gate to the Country.



All of a sudden the Eleorsake appeared behind him. It had followed him in the darkness. Ricky turned and slew the monster in a great battle outside the gates.



The Diamond was still with him. He went to the Queen and gave her the Diamond.



Ricky went to see his family because he really missed them.



The Queen was so happy and grateful for both the Diamond and for slaying the Eleorsake she made a nice Rainbow and gave us nice sweet dreams.
