THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

One day I started reading The Rainbow Goblins by Ul de Rico.  It was my favorite book when I was a kid.  It’s about this group of goblins that are each painted a different color of the rainbow and they hunt rainbows because they live off the juice of the rainbows’ colors.  The way they do it is they sneak up on the rainbows and they each lasso their designated color and then they drain the colors into their buckets and drink them.  Well, the goblins get sloppy and a field of flowers overhears their plans and then all the flowers of the valley conspire with the rainbow and the next day, when the goblins attack the rainbow, it disappears and the lassos spring back at the goblins and they’re trapped in them and then the flowers secrete weird colourful juices, tons of them, and drown the goblins.
