         THE COLOR OF FRIENDSHIP

 

 

 

 

    Once upon a time the colors of the world started
to quarrel. 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
life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees,
and leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look
over the countryside and you will see that I am in
the majority."

 

 

 

    Blue interrupted:
"You only think about the earth, but consider the
sky and the sea. It is the water that is the
basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from
the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace
and serenity. 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 is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world 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 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 time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, 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 of bravery.
I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire
into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as
empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and
of love, the red rose, the poinsettia 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. People do not question
me. They listen and obey."

 

 

 

    Finally Indigo spoke, much more quiety 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 all become
superficial. I represent thought and reflection,
twilight and deep water. You need me for balance
and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."

 

 

 

    And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced
of his or her own superiority. their quarreling
became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a
startling flash of bright lightening thunder rolled
and boomed. rain started to pour down
relentlessly. The colors crouched down in 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't you know
that you were each made for a special purpose,
unique, and different? Join hands with one
another and come to me."

 

    Doing as they were told, the colors united and
join hands.

 

 

 

    The rain continued:
"From now on, when it rains, each of you will
stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as
a reminder that you can all live in peace. The
Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow." And so,
whenever a good rain washes the world, and a
Rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to
appreciate one another.
