Rainbow After the Rain: A Lesson from Nature for the Little Tiger and Monkey
A young tiger and a monkey enjoy the sight of a rainbow after the rain, realizing that nature finds ways to bring beauty even on rainy days.
In the heart of the Indian jungle, where lush green trees and endless sounds of nature reign, there lived a curious little tiger cub named Rohan. He was always eager to learn new things about the world around him. The jungle was his true home, with every corner and trail holding something fascinating and unique.
One morning, Rohan awoke to the sound of rain drumming against the leaves. He looked out from his shelter and saw that rain had transformed the meadow into a shining, green sea. The jungle was covered in droplets that sparkled in the sunlight. To Rohan, the rain brought a sense of calm and freshness, though he sometimes missed the sunshine that let him run and play.
When the rain stopped, Rohan decided to go for a walk and call on his friend — a little monkey named Maya. Maya loved exploring the jungle too, and together they often found something extraordinary.
“Hi, Maya!” Rohan called out joyfully when he saw her swing down from a branch to join him. “Let’s go to the meadow! Maybe we’ll see something interesting after the rain!”
Maya eagerly agreed, and they ran together through the damp grass to the meadow. When they reached the edge of the trees, a magnificent sight unfolded before them — a vibrant rainbow arched over the meadow. Its colors were so vivid, it was as if nature itself had painted a beautiful scene in the sky after the rain.
“Wow, look at that beautiful rainbow!” Maya exclaimed, raising her little paws toward the sky. “I’ve never seen one this bright before!”
Rohan was amazed too. “It looks magical, like someone painted it in the sky,” he murmured thoughtfully. “I wonder how it appears there?”
Maya thought back to something the wise old elephant had once told her. He’d explained that a rainbow forms when sunlight passes through raindrops after a shower. Each tiny drop turns the light into different colors, creating the stunning arc across the sky.
“So the rain and sun work together to create a rainbow?” Rohan asked, considering her words. “It’s like a sign that even a rainy day can end with something beautiful.”
They sat on the grass, continuing to admire the rainbow, and realized that this scene was nature’s way of teaching patience. Every rainy day might seem dull, but afterward comes a moment where everything is filled with bright colors.
“Rohan, I think the rainbow is nature’s gift to us,” Maya said with a smile. “It reminds us that even when things seem gray or rainy, something good can come afterward.”
Rohan pondered. “You’re right, Maya. We should learn to see the good in even rainy days. Maybe we can learn to find joy and beauty in each day, no matter how it starts.”
They continued sitting on the grass, enjoying the moment as the rainbow slowly began to fade. When the colors started to soften, Rohan turned to Maya and said:
“Now I know that rain not only brings coolness, but it also gives us the chance to see wonders like this. It’s like a lesson — learning to wait and appreciate every moment.”
From that day on, whenever it rained, Rohan and Maya would remember this moment. Instead of feeling down, they imagined that soon a rainbow might appear, reminding them that every day has the potential to bring something amazing.
This day became a special lesson for them: learning to see the good even in the grayest, rainiest days. They realized that friendship and faith in nature’s beauty could make life brighter, like a rainbow after the rain.
