I've found it! I've found it!

I have found it! After so many years of searching, I have finally found it! Or maybe, it found me.

You see, my second daughter recently took a trip to Iceland. It was very cold and there were only 4 hours of daylight a day but they enjoyed themselves thoroughly. In fact, they think it is their best holiday so far (her friends and she go on a short holiday every December).

In Iceland, they were riding through the snow, watching geysers, admiring waterfalls and scaling the glaziers when one evening (or is it morning?) they chanced upon the ends of the rainbow! They were amazed and excited and took some photos. So now, I have booked my plane ticket to Iceland with the exact locations of the ends of the rainbows locked in my mind.

It is a good thing that my daughter and her friends do not know that at the ends of the rainbow lie two huge pots of gold!

I am sorry but I have to be secretive about my trip. If word leaks out, it may spark a gold rush as wild as that of the Klondike or, the Iceland government may impose some kind of mining tax or other to get a share of my fortune.

I have got to go now. When I return, I shall be a very rich man!

waving goodbye to the sun
