The Wishing Well

There was a little fella in my garden, I didn't know his name, he came knocking at my back door and my window pane. He said.... "I've come to make you happy" "I've got a secret I wish to tell" then he led me down the garden path, to a magic wishing well. "Quick as you like" "Toss in a coin, do it straight away" "May the luck of the Irish be with you" is what I heard him say. So I reached into my pocket and pulled out a shiny pound, tossed it into the well and listened for a sound. As I stood there waiting to hear my coin go 'splash' Out of the well a rainbow appeared and it started raining cash. I started running to keep up with the rainbow as it zoomed through the sky, then when it touched ground, something glistening quickly caught my eye. There it was at the end of the rainbow, a cauldron filled with gold. So now then children, listen well to fairy tales, as the truth is sometimes told.
