A farmer came across a bird with a broken wing. He picked it up, took it
home and looked after it lovingly, even though his wife complained
bitterly about his wasting too much time on the creature. After some time,
the wing mended and, because the bird did not want the farmer to have
kept on arguing with his wife all the time, it decided to go back to its nest.
When the farmer discovered that the bird was gone, he was so upset that
he went out to look for it. Eventually, he found it again, and was greeted
happily by the whole family of the bird. As a sign of their thanks for his
care and attention, the birds gave him a little box, and told him not to open
it until he got home. To his surprise, the farmer found the box full of
precious stones. When his wife saw them, she decided that she too
deserved a reward, and she went to see the birds. The birds give her a little
casket, but this one was full of devils. The devils jumped on her as soon as
she opened the casket and chased her away. Left alone, the farmer went to
live near his friend, the bird. There he built a hut of perfumed wood, and

5. (1) A rainbow is formed when light (generally sunlight) passes through
water droplets hanging in the atmosphere. (2) The light waves change
direction as they pass through the water droplets, resulting in two
processes: reflection and refraction. (3) When light reflects off a water
droplet, it simply bounces back in the opposite direction from where it
originated. (4) When light refracts, it takes a different direction. (5) Some
individuals refer to refracted light as "bent light waves." (6) A rainbow is
formed because white light enters the water droplet, where it bends in
several different directions. (7) When these bent light waves reach the
other side of the water droplet, they reflect back out of the droplet instead
of completely traversing the water. (8) Since the white light is separated
inside of the water, the refracted light appears as separate colors to the
human eye.
