The beautiful rainbow

It was around 4 pm yesterday. When the rain had stopped after two hours, I went to the roof of my house. After heavy rainfall, the sky was fully clear and cloudless. Suddenly I saw a beautiful scene across the sky. It was a rainbow. There were seven colours - violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, 

and red. It looked really magnificent. I felt very happy to see the colours of the rainbow. I cannot forget it throughout my life.
