Once upon a time, there was a rainbow that appeared in the sky every day. One day, two friends, a polar bear and a penguin, decided to count all the colors of the rainbow. They counted seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The bear suggested they make an igloo to rest in, and the penguin agreed. But when they tried to build it, they found that they were missing something to hold the blocks together. Then, they remembered they had some paper clips in their pockets. They used the paper clips to hold the blocks together and finally finished building the igloo. After a long day of counting and building, they decided to treat themselves to some marshmallows roasted over a fire. To make the treat even sweeter, they added some gumdrops. And so, they enjoyed their sweet treats while watching the rainbow. The end.

3. What did they eat to treat themselves after building the igloo?
4. How did the rainbow help the polar bear and penguin?
5. What would you have done if you were in their place?
