The Colors of Friendship
Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.Each claimed that it was the bethe most important, the most useful, and the most beautiful.
Green said: \grass, trees and leaves.Without me, all animals would die.Look over the countryside and you wilthat I'm in the majority.\
Blue interrupted: \It's wathat is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea.①The sky gives space anpeace and serenity.Without me, you would all be nothing.\
Yellow chuckled: \sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, and the stars are yellow.Every time you look at a sunflower,whole world starts to smile.Without me, there would be no fun.\
Next, orange started to blow her trumpet: \scarce, but I am precious because I serve the needs of human life.I carry the most important vitamins.Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes and papayas.I don't hang around all the tbut, when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives anoththought to any of you.\②
Red could stand it no longer, so he shouted out: \—life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery I am willing to fight for a noble cause.Ibring fire into the blood.Without me, the earth, would be as empty as the moon.I am the color opassion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy.\
Purple drew himself up to his full height.He was very tall and spoke with great pride: \color of royalty and power.Kings, chiefs and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign ofauthority and wisdom.People do not question me! They listen and obey.\
Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much
determination: \all become superficial.I represent thought and reflection, twilight, and deep water.You need mebalance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace.\
And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority.③Their
quarreling became louder and louder.Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightning anthunder rolled and boomed.Rain started to pour down relentlessly.The colors crouched down in fedrawing close to one another for comfort.④
In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak: \yourselves, each trying to dominate the others.Don't you know that you were each made for a spepurpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me.\ Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.
The rain continued: \great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace.The rainbow is a sign of hope ftomorrow.\
And so, whenever the sun shines after a heavy shower of rain washes the world, and a rainboappears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.
