13 A RAINBOW ROOM

CHAPTER 13 A RAINBOW ROOM I burst through the door and hollered, "Mom! Where are you? You've got to come see these!" I smiled up at Mom and held out two closed fists. "What is it, Zoey? Was everything OK down at the stream?" Mom asked. Instead of answering, I turned my fists over and opened my hands to reveal the rainbow stones. The

room filled with rays of shimmering rainbow light. "Ohhhhhhh." Mom reached a finger out to touch them. "What are those?" "A gift from the merhorses," I whispered. "Enchanted rainbow stones. Their caves are decorated with these. Aren't they the most beautiful things you've ever seen?" Mom carefully rolled one into her hand and stared.

We were so mesmerized by the stones that we jumped when Dad walked over to us. "What are you two up to?" Dad asked. He glanced at the stones in our hands and gave us a strange look. "Um, why are we staring at these little rocks like they're precious gems?"

Poor Dad! He couldn't see the rainbow at all. He was really missing out. "Oh, I got them down at the stream. I think they're really special," I said. "I'll go put them in my room." "Sure. Dinner's almost ready." Dad picked up one of the stones and turned it first one way and then the other. "Huh," he said and placed it back in

my hand. I went to my room and set the rainbow stones in a line on my desk. I turned off the light and stared in awe at the rainbow that shone on my walls. "This is so cool," I whispered. Sassafras jumped up on my desk and started rolling one of the rainbow stones around between his paws. "No, kitty! I don't want to lose them!" I plucked him off the desk. His legs spun around like a windmill as he tried to get back to the stones. One of his legs bopped my science journal and flipped it open. I grinned as the rainbow light shone down on a blank page, ready for our next adventure.
