The Rainbow After Rain

After a gentle afternoon rain, a woman named Iris steps outside her cottage and discovers a magnificent double rainbow stretching across the valley. She decides to walk toward it, following its colors through wet meadows, past a sleeping village, and up a gentle hillside. Along the way, she finds the world transformed by rain: puddles like mirrors, hedgerows dripping with light, birdsong returning, and the golden glow of late afternoon turning everything to warm amber. As the rainbow slowly fades, Iris realizes that the joy was never in reaching it, but in the walking itself.
