..

The most beautiful.

Once upon a time, all the colours of the world began to quarrel.

 Each one maintained to be the best.

The most important.

The most useful.

The most beautiful .

dGreen proclaimed:

Green I am the most important. I am the symbol of life and hope.

I was chosen for the grass, the trees and the leaves, without me all the animals would die.

Take a look across the landscape and see, I am the most present.s

Blue interrupted:

You think only of the earth, how about the sky and the sea.

The sea is the former of life.

The sky gives freedom and peace of mind.

Without me you would be nothing.

Yellow talked back:

You are much too serious, I give laughter, happiness and warmth to the world.

The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow and the stars are yellow.

Each time you look upon a sunflower, the whole world begins to smile.

Without me, there was no fun.

Now orange broke in:

I am the colour of  health and strengh, I may not be very present, but I am dear.

I fulfill a demand for the human being, I contend the most important needs.

Just look at carrots, oranges, mangos and pumpkins.

I am not visible all the time, but when I fill out the sky at sunrise and sunset, my beuty is so striking,

That nobody cares about any of you

 Red could not bare this any longer and shouted:

I an the emperor of all. I am the blood. I am the cloour of danger and courage.

I fight for a case, I bring fire into blood.

Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon.

I am the colour of passion, the red rose and the christmas star.

Violet rose

 Violet rose into his full lenght, he was very tall and talked with a loud voice.

I am the colour of royalty and power.

Kings, chieftains and priests choose me, as I am the symbol of authorities and wisdom.

 People don't ask me questions, they listen to me and obey.

 At last purpur spoke, more quiet than the others, but by the same determination:

Think of me, I am the colour of silence, you hardly notice me.

I represent  thoughts, hesitation, human being and deep water.

You need me for balance,  agreement and wishes for inner peace.

And  like this the colours went on arguing, every one convinced of his own  importance.

Their arguing got louder and louder

  By sudden, the sky was flashed by a lightning,

while thunder overdrowned the noisy colours.

Rain began to fall heavily and without mercy

The colours bowed in fear and went closer to each other. to find comfort..

 Rain began to talk:

You stupid colours fight your own kind and try to dominate each other.

Are you not aware, that every single one of you were made for a very special reason,

that you are all different and unique.

Take each others hands and come to me.

The colours now took each others hands.

The rain said further on:

From now on, when it rains, every one of you will stretch across the sky, in a magnificent bow of colours.

The rainbow is a symbol of hope for tomorrow.

And then:

Every time a rainshower washes the world,

and a rainbow appears into the sky,

Let us remember to worship each other.
