One day Baiame came to the great magic pool. The magic pool might be glittery, sparkly, ruff and it might have power in it. It might have a glittery and sparkly fish. The reflections are pink, green, red, galaxy colours. Baiame took a drink from the pool. Baiame took little sips from the pool. The water tasted wonderful. It tasted like strawberry milk, because the water was so wonderful Baiame dived in and swam around. It was as soft as diving down a powerful rainbow. The other teeny tiny animals watched Baiame from the shore. One of the tiny animals said “WOW his good” said the creature. The other animals said OMG his good. They all fainted. Baiame grew so big he began to push the sky upwards away from the Earth. He used his hands to push the sky up until he could not reach anymore. Some of the water from the magic pool went up as well. When the water got to the sun it turned into clouds, they made LOL surprise dolls in the sky and the clouds turned pink, then rain fell on Earth for the very first time. It was pitter pattering, it was very soft, it was pink. When the tiny creatures and the other things on Earth were touched by this magic rain they grew too, to the size we know them to be today. The other creatures and plants had a growth spurt as well. The End.
