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 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 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 joined 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. 友誼的顏色從前，世界的顏色開始爭吵。
所有聲稱他們是最好的。
最重要。
最有用。
收藏夾。綠色說：
"清楚我是最重要。 我的生活和希望的跡象。 被評為的草、 樹和樹葉。 而我，不會死所有的動物。 看壹下農村，您將看到我在大多數。藍色中斷：
"妳想想的地球只考慮天空和大海。 它是水，是生命的基礎和擬備雲從深海。 天空提供空間和和平和寧靜。 沒有我的和平妳將所有是什麽。黃色暗暗：
"妳是所有如此嚴重。 我把世界的笑聲、 歡樂和溫暖。 太陽是黃色，月亮是黃色，星星是黃色。 每次在看壹個向日葵，整個世界開始微笑。 我不會有不好玩。"橙吹她喇叭啟動下壹步：
我是健康和強度的顏色。 我可能是有限的但我是寶貴的因為我為人類生活的需要。 我把最重要的維生素。 認為的胡蘿蔔、 南瓜、 橘子、 芒果和木瓜。 我不要流連，所有的時間，但當我在日出還是日落填充天空，我的美人太引人註目，沒有人給任何妳想的另壹種。紅能忍受它不再他喊：
我是妳所有的標尺。 我是血-生命的血 ！ 我的危險和勇敢的顏色。 我願意為壹個事業而奮鬥。 我把血火。 沒有我，地球會以月亮為空。 我是激情和愛、 紅玫瑰、 對壹品紅和罌粟的顏色。他全高達的紫色玫瑰：
他身材很高，並且與盛大說話： 我是版稅和電源的顏色。 國王、 酋長和主教總是選擇了我我的權力和智慧的標誌。 人們並不懷疑我 ！ 他們聽和遵守。 最後靛藍發言，靜靜地比其他所有人，但只是多大的決心更多：
"我認為。 我的沈默的顏色。 妳很難註意到我，但沒有我，妳們都成為淺。 我代表思想和反射、 黃昏和深海。 您需要我的平衡和對比度、 祈禱和內心的平靜。
而且如此的顏色去吹噓，每個深信他或她自己的優勢。 他們爭吵成為呼聲高漲。 突然有了驚人閃明亮舟雷聲熱軋和蓬勃發展。 雨開始無情地倒下來。 顏色蹲在靠近另壹個繪圖的舒適的恐懼中。在的鼓噪的中間雨開始發言：
"妳戰鬥當中妳們，每個想要占主導地位，其余的愚蠢顏色。 難道妳不知道每個做為壹個特殊目的而獨特的、 不同嗎？ 與另壹個攜手合作，來找我。 顏色做，他們被告知，團結，攜手合作。
雨繼續：
"從現在的不下雨時妳們每個人都將跨越天空的顏色的大蝴蝶結，提醒妳可以都在和平中生活。 彩虹是希望的明天的跡象。 因此，每當壹個好雨洗了的世界，並有彩虹出現在天空中讓我們記住欣賞另壹個。
