The Queen, the Knight, a Rainbow and a Bow

The tale is old, very old, has no record at all.
Its about a Queen, that was so cruel and vicious that stole the rainbow to prevent all to smile when they see it. Each time the rain came to the kingdom, no one wait to stop and see the colors and feel the magic in the air that a simple natural event brings.
Then, one day, a common day, at least at first; after the rain the rainbow appears and all in the town felt wonder. A caravan with merchants enter the town at sunset, no rainbow in sight but the towns people were happy and in celebration.
"The Queen is gone", they say, "an old man that travel with us conquer her heart with his mind, a clever old man I need to say"
"How?" - someone ask - "He tell her that he can use the Bow as no other man, he ask for a challenge; if he succeed he only wants one thing and one thing only: The rainbow. The Queen accept, the challenge was hard but no match for the man that was cheated by the nefarious woman, no he won not only because his ability but by his cunning"

Historical Basis

This tale has many forms and parents told his sons and daughters in order to think and not only to be good at something.
The story is real but with a lot of missing parts in the tale:
The Queen was a witch that stole the will and the happiness of the town; she feed with the fear and sorrow of the people.
The knight really was cunning because no one can enter the throne room with a weapon, except for the man that was intelligent enough to cheat a witch with a contest of archery, killing it with a precise shot in her heart, then convince the guards and sons of the "Queen" that all is part of a bigger plan for the town; and he wasn't wrong cause this human city (now) is one of the most wealthy and advanced in all the land.
They use their brain to do things.
The bow is in the cities palace.
