In a small town in France, there lived a little girl named Lucy. Lucy had a deep love for rainbows. She thought that rainbows were the most beautiful things in the world. Her room was filled with rainbows she had drawn herself, in all kinds of colors and shapes. She often made wishes to the sky, hoping that one day she could collect rainbows from all over the world.
One day, Lucy saw an old book in the town library. The book mentioned that in far - away places, there were rainbows with special shapes and colors. From that moment on, her wish to collect rainbows grew even stronger. She decided to start her rainbow - collecting journey.
Lucy carried her small backpack, which contained drawing tools, a notebook for recording rainbows, and some dry food. She said goodbye to her family and embarked on a journey full of the unknown. She walked along the small paths in the town. The flowers on the roadside seemed to be seeing her off. The gentle breeze blew across her face, just like her mother's tender hand.
After walking for a long time, Lucy arrived at the seaside. The sea sparkled under the sun, like a huge blue mirror. Suddenly, an arc - shaped rainbow appeared in the sky. The colors of this rainbow were extremely vivid. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet seemed to be carefully arranged by someone.
Lucy was extremely excited. She quickly took out her notebook and paintbrush, wanting to draw this rainbow. She sat on the beach and carefully depicted each color of the rainbow. She also wrote down her feelings when seeing the rainbow beside it. The sea breeze blew gently, carrying the salty smell of the sea. Lucy's hair fluttered in the wind, but her eyes never left the rainbow.
Then, Lucy continued her journey. She climbed mountains and crossed ridges, and passed through the thick forest. The trees in the forest were tall and lush. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming golden patches. Deep in the forest, she saw a different rainbow. This rainbow seemed to be divided into many small sections, and each section had a different color combination.
Lucy was once again shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of her. She carefully approached the rainbow, fearing that a careless move would scare the rainbow away. She carefully observed this strange rainbow and drew every detail of it in her notebook. She also collected some surrounding leaves and flowers, wanting to take away the smell of the rainbow in the forest as well.
Lucy's journey continued. She went to many other places. There were snow - capped mountains, where the rainbows seen were as crystal - clear as ice sculptures; there were vast grasslands, and the rainbows on the grasslands seemed to blend with the green grass.
Everywhere she went, Lucy would feel the beauty of the rainbow with all her heart and record it with her paintbrush. Her notebook became thicker and thicker, filled with all kinds of rainbows.
Many years later, Lucy returned to her own town. She organized the rainbow paintings she had collected into an album and held an exhibition in the town. The people in the town were all moved by her perseverance and those beautiful rainbow paintings. Lucy proved with her own actions that as long as there is the determination to pursue beauty, one can collect the most wonderful things in the world.
