Yup! Rainbow. I always love rainbow. It's like I can see a lively philosophy in the sky. I believe everyone still remembers the saying "After the storm, there will come the rainbow". It makes us feel more positive and energized amongst so many problems in the world. But, do you know there are two popular idioms in English using the word "rainbow"? Here they are...
