Hers one I wrote for my daughter.
It's called Olivia's Rainbow

Once there was a girl named Olivia that loved to look
at rainbows. Every time she would see one, she would say
look mommy, there’s another rainbow. Olivia loved the
rain, because it usually meant she would get to see one
of the beautiful rainbows. She would go outside and
get all wet, she didn’t care. One day her daddy told
her, you know Olivia, Iv'e heard that at the end of
every rainbow there is a leprechaun and a pot of gold.
She said there is? Her daddy said that’s what I’ve been
told, but I’ve never seen one myself. Maybe next time it
rains, we could go and try to find the end and see. She
said ok daddy, when is it going to rain again? He said
you better go ask your mommy. She will probably know.
Part 2
Well Olivia asked her mommy when it was going to
rain again, because she wanted to see the pot of gold
and the leprechaun. her mommy said it was probably
going
to rain next Tuesday, and Olivia was happy, she thought
me and my daddy can go look for the end of the rainbow
then. That night she went to bed thinking how neat it
was going to be to see a real leprechaun and his gold.
Part 3
Tuesday morning, it was really cloudy outside, and On
the way to school Olivia asked her mommy ,Is it going
to rain today? Her mommy said it sure looks that
way. Olivia said that’s good, me and my daddy are going
to look for the end of the rainbow. She couldn’t wait
for school to get over-all day long all she could
think about was the leprechaun and his pot of gold.
Part 4
That afternoon, It was raining pretty hard, So Olivia
and her daddy put on there jackets and went outside.
They took a walk down to the park and the rain started
letting up a little bit. By the time they got to the
middle of the park, There was only a little drizzle.
Then the most big and beautiful rainbow they had ever
seen appeared. Olivia said, c’mon daddy, lets go find the
end. So they started walking down the hill where it
looked like the rainbow ended.
Part 5
When they got to the bottom of the hill, They still
couldn’t see the end of the rainbow. They walked on and
on, and just when they thought they had found it, it
moved again. Pretty soon Daddy said to Olivia, we
better go, I don’t think were ever going to find it.
Right then, Olivia said daddy, look over there
behind that tree. Daddy looked and saw the tip of a
green hat sticking out from behind the tree. Daddy said
shhhhh lets walk over there really quiet and see if we
can see him. Olivia said daddy hold my hand so I don't
fall. She didn’t want to tell daddy she was really
scared.
Part 6
As they got around the tree, They saw the little
leprechaun dancing and singing around his pot of gold.
Then daddy stepped on a twig and it cracked, and the
leprechaun looked at them. Oh no he cried, Your not
supposed to see me. But they had already seen him. He
said ok, its too late now, how you folks doing? Daddy
said were doing fine, how about you? he said ok, my
names Patrick O'Reily at your service. Do you know
what happens when you see a leprechaun? They both said
no, And wondered what he would say next.
Part 7
He said to them, Now that you have seen me, I have to
give you my pot of gold or three wishes, Whatever you
would like. Daddy bent down and asked Olivia what she
would like. She said daddy, I would like the three
wishes, I don’t need a pot of gold. Daddy said ok, We'll
take the three wishes. Patrick said ok, I'll give you a
few moments to think, And then you can tell me ok? They
said ok, And daddy said to Olivia, You should think real
hard about what you want for the three wishes. Olivia
said ok, and started thinking.
Part 8
Patrick said ok ,What are the three wishes you would
like me to grant thee. Olivia said, The first one I
would like is for my mommy and daddy to be happy.
Poof,
A big cloud of smoke arose and Patrick said done.
The second one is I would like a nice big candy bar.
Poof ,More smoke and Patrick said done again. Then he
said think hard, this is your last wish. Olivia
said ok, I'm ready. The third wish is I would like Santa
to bring me a Barbie for Christmas. Poof, more smoke
and Patrick said, done. Then a really big poof of smoke
came, and when it cleared, Patrick was gone and so was
his pot of gold. Daddy said we better be getting home
now.
Part 8
As they walked along, Daddy said to Olivia, you know
Olivia, You make me and your mommy so happy every day
when we see your smiling face and your a good girl.
Olivia thought, I’m going to be good and try to smile
then my wish will come true. Daddy said, I think we
should stop at the store and get us some candy, don’t
you? Olivia said yes please, So they stopped On there
way home. By the time they got Home ,It was late so
they decided to eat there candy the next day. So they
got ready for bed and went to sleep.
Part 9
The next morning, Olivia woke up and wondered if it
had all been a dream. Then she looked over at her nite
stand, and there was a big candy bar. Olivia smiled and
ran and got daddy. Daddy, are you happy she asked? Yes
Olivia, I am very happy, I am happy your my
daughter, and I love you lots. Daddy, Do you think I can
have a Barbie for Christmas? Daddy said, I think Santa
will probably bring you a Barbie, As long as your a
good girl and your nice to people. Olivia just
smiled, cause she already knew.

The End
