Once upon a time there was a cat, but he wasn’t the kind of cat you’re thinking of. He was from the land of the fairies and his fur was completely unexpected colors. For starters, his nose was <i>violet</i>. His eyes were <i>indigo</i>, his ears were <i>sky blue</i>, his front paws were <i>green</i>, his body was <i>yellow</i>, his back paws were <i>orange</i>, and his tail was <i>red</i>. So he was a mysterious cat of seven colors arranged just like a rainbow.

So he was a mysterious cat of seven colors arranged just like a rainbow.
<br><br>
That rainbow cat went on all sorts of strange adventures. The following story is one of them.
<br><br>
One day while the rainbow cat was sunbathing, he was suddenly vexed by boredom. That is to say, peace reigned in the land of the fairies, so nothing much was going on.
<br><br>
<i>It’s not good for my health to spend all my time idling about as if I haven’t got a care in the world,</i> he thought. <i>Perhaps I should head out and go on an adventure.</i>

<br><br>
So he put a note up on his door: "Dear Mr. Post Man, I will be gone for two or three days, so if any packages or letters come, please throw them down the chimney."
<br><br>
Then he packed a small bag, hung it on his tail, and wobbled off to the border of the land of the fairies. When he arrived, a thick cloud billowed up.
<br><br>
"Well, maybe I’ll drop by the cloud people’s place," he chattered to himself, climbing up the cloud embankment.

The people who lived in cloud country were quite pleasant folks. They didn’t do any work, in particular, but just because they were lazy didn’t mean that they didn’t find the world interesting. They all lived in splendid palaces, of which the ones you couldn’t see from Earth were far more beautiful than the ones you could.

<br><br>
The people of the cloud country sometimes drove pearly gray carriages or went sailing in lightweight boats. They lived in the sky, so the only person they had to fear was Sir Thunder. It’s quite understandable given that he was quick to anger -- he would make the sky rumble with his stomping and go around knocking down their houses.

The people of the cloud country were very happy to have the rainbow cat visit and greeted him politely.
<br><br>
"You’ve come at a great time," they said. "We’re having a big celebration at the Wind God’s house. His eldest son, North Wind is taking the daughter of the King of the Magic Isle as his wife."

The rainbow cat, having thought just such a thing might happen, was prepared with various goods in the bag on his tail.
<br><br>
It was a truly magnificent wedding.
<br><br>
Everyone came. Even Comet showed up. You wouldn’t see Comet unless it was a very fine banquet indeed.

A feast was served and everyone was in a lively mood, having interesting conversations and drinking, when all of the sudden a swallow flew in. According to him, the giant Sir Thunder was rushing towards them at a tremendous speed. Apparently, when Trade Wind was hurrying by, he had tripped over sleeping Sir Thunder’s toes and Sir Thunder was furious.

"I’ll find a way to keep Sir Thunder from coming here," said the cat. "So please continue the celebration as you were. I’ll go to him and see what I can do."

Everyone was surprised at how brave and composed the rainbow cat was, but it sounded like their celebration wouldn’t be intruded upon partway through, so they were happy to gather and see off the cat as he raced towards the far-off rumblings of Sir Thunder.

"Hey, who are you and what are you doing here?" he shouted.

"Me? I’m the famed magician Mewpuu," replied the rainbow cat in a voice made to sound serious and important. "Take a look at my bag, here. There are magic seeds inside. Mr. Thunder, I’ve known about you for a while now. You’re quite famous."

"I wonder where they might be taking shelter from the storm. There is no where else to go in this wide, wide ocean. They must have sunk...��<br><br>
The first fisherman had started to worry as the stormy night turned to complete darkness. Whenever he looked out, the waves of the ocean were winding into the skies above. He could see no sign of a boat. The first fisherman had been abandoned on the small, deserted island. He stood on the rocks of the shore and waited a full day for his friends to return. But perhaps because the winds from yesterday had made the ocean rough, the sun that day went down without any sign of the boat he had been waiting for.<br><br>
Three days passed. The first fisherman had started to grow weak. Finally, after standing on the beach looking intently out over the ocean for three days, the boat carrying his friends cut through the waves and sailed towards the beach. It felt like a thousand years since he had seen them last. He could see that the second fisherman and the third fisherman were fine and moving about on the boat.<br><br>
"Hey!" the first fisherman called out over the water, raising both of his hands high in the air. When he did, it looked like they too had thrown their hands in the air and called back. Only he couldn't hear their voices. Just then as the setting sun illuminated the tips of the waves, the two fishermen on the boat came into sight, red in the face.<br><br>
"Ahh, here's a sight for sore eyes, my two friends! They made it back alive," said the first fisherman, warm tears of joy swelling in his eyes. Before long the boat was nearly on the sand.<br><br>
"Hey!" the first fisherman called out, his hand in the air. He thought the other to fishermen would respond, but just as the pair were about to turn to the side and bring their boat in, they disappeared like a puff of smoke. The first fisherman was shocked.<br><br>

The first fisherman lost all hope, threw himself down on the sand and began to cry. His imagination was running wild, and his nightmares ran through the night. When he awoke the next morning his eyes were blood-shot and his heart was pounding. It was just past midday. The first fisherman raised his head and looked out over the sea only to spot the same boat in the distance. But it was the same as yesterday, a ghost ship, that had come to the island. For a moment he was relieved, and happiness danced in his chest, but in the next instant his body shook with fear.<br><br>
"Damn it. Are they trying to kill me?” said the first fisherman, as he started to lose his mind. The boat cut through the waves and came in closer and closer to the island. The first fisherman pulled out his pistol, aimed at the boat and pulled the trigger. But this time the boat wasn't a ghost, and it didn't disappear. Once the boat was docked at the beach, the two other fishermen scrambled up onto land.<br><br>
"Have you gone completely mad?”� yelled one, which was enough to snap the first fisherman back to reality.<br><br>

The first fisherman had gone completely mad. That night the winds had caused the boat to be pushed back against a nearby island. Once the waves had died down, the two fishermen went back to the island to rescue their friend. The two fishermen got their crazy friend back on the boat and returned to the mainland. The pair cared for their weakened friend, and through their care he was able to lose his madness and returned to how he used to be. And from there the three friends went on to be even better friends for a very long time. This story is still told in the harbors to the north where the head of that deserted island still pokes up from between those blue black waves.
