Once upon a time the colors of the world started toquarrel.
All claimed that they were the best.
The most important.
The most useful.
The favorite.
Green said:
"Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of lifeand of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees andleaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I amin the majority."
Blue interrupted:
"You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is thebasis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace andserenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."
Yellow chuckled:
"You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun isyellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the wholeworld starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."
Orange started next to blow her trumpet:
"I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve theneeds of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges,mangoes, and papayas. I don"t hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise orsunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."
Red could stand it no longer he shouted out:
"I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life"s blood! I am the color of danger and ofbravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earthwould be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, thepoinsettia and the poppy."
Purple rose up to his full height:
He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings,chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. Peopledo not question me! They listen and obey."
Finally
Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination:
"Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you allbecome superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need mefor balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."
And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Theirquarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lighteningthunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched downin fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.
In the midst of the clamor,
rain began to speak:
"You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don"tyou know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join handswith one another and come to me."
Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.
The rain continued:
"From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of coloras a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow." Andso, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us rememberto appreciate one another
