"You were going to tell us about Americanindianland?" the girl reminded him.
"Oh, yes, of course," replied the Elf. "But before I do, I should tell
you a little story about pets. I think you'll like this, it encompasses
some of what I have told you. The story is called /The Rainbow Bridge/."
There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth.
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just
this side of the Rainbow Bridge is a land of meadows, hills and valleys
-- all of it covered with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this lovely land. There is
always food and water and warm spring weather. There, the old and
frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole
once again. They play all day with each other, content and comfortable.
There is only one thing missing. They are not with the special
person who loved them on earth. So each day they run and play until the
day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose
twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! You have been seen, and
that one suddenly runs from the group!
You take him or her in your arms and embrace.
