There the animals still lived in paradise. Only one place in the land had never known goblin-fear - the hidden valley called the Valley of the Rainbow, where the great arches of color were born. The goblins lived on color - they prowled the valleys and climbed the highest mountains looking for rainbows, and when they found one, they caught it in their lassoes, sucked the colors out of it and filled their bellies with its bright liquid. Yellow, being the craftiest, was their chief. They were called the Rainbow Goblins and each had his own color, which was also his name: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
