BR 1-05: The Rainbow Machine

I read a book "The Rainbow Machine". I write about this book's outline.
It was raining, but the sun was shining at the same time. The children looked up and saw a rainbow across the sky. The children wondered at that where the rainbow begins and where it ends. In a place far away, there was a lorry. It was a very big lorry because on the back was a very big machine. It was the rainbow machine. The machine made rainbows. There are 7 colors in the rainbow. It took 7 people to look after the rainbow machine. They cleaned it and polished it and they made sure it worked properly. The rainbow machine had to be ready at any time, sometimes weeks and weeks went by and a rainbow was not needed. But when the call came, the rainbow makers had to work fast. Off they went in the lorry. While it was going along, the rainbow makers got the rainbow ready. They set timing and pressed a button and the rainbow shot out of the machine. When there was a rainbow, everyone stopped to look at it. Sometimes the rainbow was very bright but sometimes it was quite pale. Often the children ran towards it. They wanted to find the end of it, and play in all the colors. But, of course, they never could.
One of the rainbow makers was a young man called Fred. He was new and he was learning to be a rainbow maker. One day, the other rainbow makers asked Fred to look after the lorry. The lorry was on a double yellow line. Fred saw a traffic warden, so he climbed into the driver's cab and drove away. Fred drove the lorry along the road. He wanted to turn the lorry round, so he drove into a field. The lorry stuck in the mud. The wheels spun round and round and the lorry sank deeper and deeper. He was in trouble. Suddenly, there was a door in the field. Biff and Chip came through it with Wilf, Nadim and Anneena. Biff had the magic key. A new adventure had begun. The children saw that a lorry was stuck in the field. Then they saw Fred. They helped Fred. The children pushed the lorry, but it was no good. The lorry was too big, and it was far too heavy. Suddenly, it began to rain even though the sun was shining. On the lorry, things began to buzz and flash. Fred had to make a rainbow, so he also asked the children to help. The children helped Fred to pull the cover off the rainbow machine. Fred tried to work the rainbow machine, but he didn't know how to work the computer yet. Nadim was good with computers. He looked at the rainbow keyboard. He didn't really know what to do, but he didn't like to tell Fred. Nadim pushed button randomly. The rainbow machine sent up a rainbow. The rainbow was too bright for them to see it properly so Fred gave everyone some dark glasses. The children looked up at the rainbow they had made. It didn't look quite right. The rainbow didn't look right. It is very strange. First it went straight up. Then it went straight along and then it went straight down.The rainbow makers were having a cup of tea. They looked out of the window. Everyone was staring at the sky. They were surprised at it. They ran out into the road but the rainbow machine had gone. They panicked. The rainbow changed a broken rainbow. The rainbow changed again. This time it was twisted and it was very bright. The rainbow makers found the rainbow machine. Back at the rainbow machine, something had gone wrong. Nadim had been too clever. The rainbow was leaking and all the red was running out.The sky was turning red. Fred turned pale. The rainbow makers found the lorry. They were cross with Fred. The rainbow machine had to bleach the sky.The sky had turned white. The sun wasn't yellow anymore. Nadim apologized to the rainbow makers. The rainbow makers allowed him. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. The sky was blue and the sun was shining.
The rainbow is very beautiful, I like it. I have tried to go to the rainbow when I was child, but, of course, I couldn't go to the rainbow. I think that everyone have done this once. I think that the rainbow is child's dream. As the rainy season will have set in nearly, I'm looking forward to seeing the rainbow.
