The waters fall

There is, hidden somewhere in the world, a magnificent waterfall. In its clear waters are seen flecks of gold and flashes from diamonds. This waterfall has not only one rainbow, but a thousand dancing among the mist. Some would say it is simply the suns light refracting through the diammonds and the water. But, when the clouds roll over head to bring the waters back up to the mountains, when the sky is dark as night and there is no light to be found, still there are rainbows dancing here.

 Why is that, you ask? It is because there is magic here. The rainbows reflect the light that shine from the waters, for in the journey down the mountain, the waters pick up things more precious than diamonds and more valuable than gold. They collect, in each little droplet, the wishing stars that have fallen down onto the mountain side as their wishes pull them from the sky. The waters bring those stars down from the mountain, and as the waters fall they release those wishing stars into the world, helping them on their way to fulfilling those wishes. As the stars fly away, they blaze through the mist, and the rainbows dance by the thousands. The light bounces off of every surface, from every diamond, because nothing shines more brightly than a wishing star after all.
