.. The witch continued to search for the kid...

in Caves, in trees and in the sparrow nest.

In the sparrow's nest?

Yea.. But the kid wasn't there.

And then it grew dark.

And the witch turned into a mouse..

A mouse?

Yep. The one with a long tail..

And then..

the man who were turned into rats by the witch's cruse..

returned to their human form..

And then.. Purple, who was hiding under a lotus plant,

sneaked out.. gently..

And she let out a cry.. Koo.. koo..

like how..?

Koo.. Koo..

Pa.. third bench monica..

Ya

then you should tickle her back, silly..!

Ok Now let's get back to the story..

Yes

So in response to Purple's cry, came a sound from the other end..

And guess who came flying..

a big white swan.!

Pa.. Show me the swan's picture..

Ah.. The swan's picture..!

Here it is..!

Swan sang 'koo koo'..

and then it took Purple to the Rainbowland

It was a land filled with colors...

Violet

Blue

Green

Yellow

Orange

Red

Wow..!

Purple climbed the beautiful huge rainbow

slid down it, played with colors and laughed her heart out..

And Purple lived in the Rainbowland

happily ever after..

and slip into sleep..
