I'm an Irish leprechaun! If you get my foot loose, I will show you the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! -

(pointing to the sky) Do you see that rainbow? It starts here (points) and goes there! -

Well, the pot of gold is at the far end. (points) Way over there! -

At this end, there is something far more valuable! -

When you start to paint, you will be an artist. And when you are an artist, people will give you gold for your paintings. As long as you paint, you will have gold! -

Let's start! (picks up a brush from bucket) I have a lot of great ideas. (makes a big arc, like a rainbow) I feel that I could paint forever!
