RAINBOW CLASS VII Activity » Write any English poem in your notebook that you must have read in the previous class. Two little clouds on a summer's day, Went flying through the sky. They went so fast they bumped their heads, And both began to cry. Old Father Sun looked down and said, \"Oh! never mind, my dears, I'll send my little fairy folk, To dry your falling tears.\" One fairy came in violet, And one wore indigo, In blue, green, yellow, orange, red, They made a pretty row. They wiped the clouds-tears all away, And then out from the sky, Upon a line the sunbeams made, They hung their gowns to dry. -L.M.
