CURCUBEU THE RAINBOW
Once upon a time there was a little boy from a village on the mountain. His name was Alex. He was sent by his father to be a shepherd to their flock of sheep, far from the village. Being alone there, he was amusing himself by giving names to his sheep. And talked to them as if humans
Then he got bored and started to watch the sky and give names to the constellations: “This is like the chariot of my uncle, that is like our horse” etc ..
But still he was bored and was very happy whenever-once per week-was going back home and found other kids to play with ,[object Object]
Time past and he was growing older and taller ,[object Object],[object Object]
He became taller than the tower bell of the church .  No door, no room was in his size. And continued to getting taller. His parents were annoyed by his presence
So he decided to stay away from the village, with the only company of the creatures of nature. Sometimes, as he was standing, his head among the clouds, he could listen to the birds talking and learn new things
One day, many heavy clouds filled the sky. He stood up and heard: “ Ha!ha! How nice! all of us, sister drops, we are gathered here !
“ We will fall to this place, all of us, and travel altogether to the sea! We’ll not be separated anymore! Pity of these poor people! They will be vanished by our fluid!” ,[object Object]
Thunders and strikes started to tear off the sky!
Immediately Alex started to dig a big canal all around the village. The water fell there and the village was saved
Another time, having his head in the clouds he saw and heard some beautiful, white, cold flakes laughing and saying:
“ How nice! How happy we are! We’’ll fall altogether on this nice village, we’ ll stay for a long time, we will bury this area for the whole winter ! ”
Immediately Alex started cutting all the dry, old, fallen trees from the forests around the village. ,[object Object]
When the village was almost buried under the snow, people had enough wood for the fireplace and enjoyed their staying at home, watching the falling snow flakes
Once, he heard the clouds shouting : ,[object Object]
But one day, what he heard in the clouds from the birds, terrified him: “ Run, run, brothers and sisters! Lets go away from this crazy place! Human race lost their mind and make wars!...
… they throw bullets, bombs, rockets, death anywhere! And then they say: Sorry! It happened by mistake!” or “ Sorry! Side casualties!”
Alex was very upset. He did not know what is war. He heard some terrible sounds, like thunders –bombs!- like flying bees –bullets!- and something hit him and he started to bleed!!
He felt desperate! What could he do to protect his village? He put his body over it, like a shield, like a bow, and didn’t move even when his body was full of bullets. His blood flew and falling on the clouds, dyed them red, orange, mauve, yellow, green..
Alex vanished. His memory is only the rainbow trying to help and give hopes to people
