The Truth in Rainbows

The popular conception in the village is that you will see a rainbow in the sky if someone very important like a chief dies. Val asked the boys if they have ever seen this notion come true. None of them could think of a time that this truly happened, yet it is what everyone in the village is taught. She had them read the story of Noah and how the rainbow is God's promise that he will never flood the world again. (Genesis 9:13) The other day one of the boys noticed a rainbow and he mentioned God's promise. Val was pleased that he had remembered the bible lesson.
