The rainbow, the leprechaun, and the gold

​Rainbows! 
 
Seeing a rainbow puts me in such a positive mood, I love them.
 
Rainbows are a reminder of peace and hopefulness. I don't know about you, but I grew up thinking if I could get over to the other side, life would be magical. Later, I learned, if someone wasn't interested in getting to Magic Land, you had the option of fighting off a leprechaun for a pot of gold. Either way, you'd be a happy camper in the end.
Unfortunately, as we got older, we learned that it was all a lie. One more lie to add to the “just joking, they aren’t real, we did it for tradition” pile. 
 
But, what if this wasn’t a lie?
 
What if someone handed you a list of tasks and told you, if you completed each one, you would have a personal escort to the rainbow? Once there, you could choose to go to the other side or take the gold (minus the leprechaun deathmatch).
 
Exercise: 
  1. Create a list of three or more tasks that would allow someone to reach the rainbow.
  2. Create a character that is willing to take on these tasks.
  3. Write a paragraph or so describing how your character won each task.
  4. Write two separate short stories:
    1. Describe what would happen if your character chooses to go over the rainbow.
    2. Describe what would happen if your character chooses to take the gold.
