Found : One Rainbow
Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed 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 life and hope. I was chosen for the grass, the trees,and the leaves. without me all life would die. Look around you and you will see I am everywhere."
BLUE interrupted :" You only think about the Earth, but consider the sky and sea. It is water that sustain life as the clouds roll on and form over the deep sea. The sky give space, peace, and serenity. Without me you would all be nothing."
YELLOW laughed : " You are all so serious. I bring laugher, joy, and warmth to the world. The sun in yellow and so is the moon, and even the stars are yellow twinkles in the sly. Every time you look at a sunflower the world begins to smile. Without me there would be no fun."
ORANGE started next to show her temper : " I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce but I am precious for I serve the needs of life. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, apricots and peaches. I don't hang around all the time. I fill the sky at sunrise and sunset my beauty is so striking that now one even gives a second thoughts about you."
RED shrouded out : " I am the ruler of all of you! I am blood ! Life's blood . I am the color of danger and bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire to the blood ! I am the color of passion and love, the red rose, the poppy. Without me the Earth would be as empty as the moon. "
PURPLE rose up and spoke with great pomp : " I am the color of royalty and power. Kings chose me as a symbol of authority and wisdom. People do not question me, they obey. "
INDIGO finally spoke, much more quietly but with determination : " You hardly notice me, but without me you'll become superficial I represent thoughts and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace. "
And so all the colors went on arguing so laud that they woke up thunder and storm. Soon it became to rain, and in the mist of the clamor rain became to speak : " You foolish colors fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate. Don't you know you were made for a special purpose, unique and different ? Join hands one another and come to me. "
Doing as they were told the colors united and joined hands. Then rains continued : " From now one when it rains, each of you with stretch across the sky in a great bow of colors as a reminder you can all live in peace.
The rainbow is a sign of hope for the future. And so whenever a good rain washes the world and a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember and appreciate one another
