"A rainbow is missing?!" Noah gasped. He was playing with his toy cheetah in his room when Grandma rushed in, her eyes wide with surprise.
"It's true, Noah!" Grandma exclaimed. "The Enchanted Castle's rainbow has vanished, and without it, their magic is fading!"
Noah had heard stories about the Enchanted Castle, a magnificent place with colorful towers and sparkling waterfalls, where magical beings lived. He knew he had to help! But how could a five-year-old boy from Philadelphia find a missing rainbow?
Grandma, sensing his worry, patted his hand. "Don't you worry, Noah. We'll figure it out. Remember, true courage comes from the heart. Now, let's pack some snacks for the journey!"
Grandma always had a way of making things better. Soon, they were on their way, following a shimmering path that led them straight to the Enchanted Castle. As they approached, the castle seemed dull, its colors muted. It was sad to see such a beautiful place lose its sparkle.
At the castle gates, a little bunny hopped towards them, its nose twitching. "Excuse me," the bunny squeaked. "Are you here about the rainbow?"
Noah, despite being shy, found his courage. "Yes, we are," he said. "We want to help!"
"The rainbow disappeared from the highest tower," the bunny explained. "There were sparkly footprints leading away, but no one knows who made them."
Sparkly footprints? That sounded like a clue! Noah, using his cheetah-like speed, zoomed towards the tower. He had an idea. Racing to the library in the castle, he found a book about magical creatures. He flipped through the pages, Grandma peering over his shoulder.
"Look, Grandma!" Noah pointed to a picture. "A Glitter Sprite! They leave sparkly footprints and love bright colors!"
"That's it!" Grandma exclaimed. "Maybe the Glitter Sprite took the rainbow to add to its collection."
The bunny hopped up and down. "But Glitter Sprites live in the Whispering Woods, and it's very easy to get lost in there!"
Despite his fear, Noah knew he couldn't give up. He thought of the castle, losing its magic, and the sad little bunny. Taking a deep breath, Noah felt courage fill his heart.
"Don't worry," Noah said to the bunny. "We'll find the Glitter Sprite and bring back the rainbow."
And so, with Grandma by his side and courage leading the way, Noah ventured into the Whispering Woods...
