After that, no one on earth would hire Slappy Hooper. It looked
like his sign painting days were done.
Slappy felt so low, he made up his mind to throw his paint kit in
the river. He dragged it onto the tallest bridge in town and was just
about to chuck it, when a voice thundered out beside him.
"Don't dump that gear, Slappy. You're going to need it!"
Right next to Slappy stood a man almost as big as Slappy himself.
He wore a paint-splotched white coverall and a cap with two little
angel wings sticking out. He carried an eight-inch brush.
"Who are you?" said Slappy.
"I'm Michael, from the Heavenly Sign Company," thundered the man.
"The Boss has had an eye on you for some time, Slappy, and He likes
your work. He's got a job for you--if you don't mind working in the
rain."
"Tell me about it," said Slappy.
"We need someone to paint a rainbow this Wednesday," said
Michael. "Most of the time, we handle all the rainbows ourselves. But
it's going to rain in a bunch of places Wednesday, and we could sure
use some help."
"I'm your man," said Slappy.
