The Rainbow

Once upon a time, all the colors in the world started to vie for superiority. They argued all day long, each one claiming that it was the most important. Green said, “I am clearly the best color in the world. I am the primary color in nature; I paint the meadows, the leaves, and the vegetation.” Blue interrupted, “I am the sea and the sky, the calm peaceful backdrop to all that is.” Red exploded at that, “I am fire and passion. Without me there would be no contrast.” “Oh please,” interrupted Orange, “I bring the warmth of hearth and home without the need for temper.” “Get over yourselves,” laughed Yellow, “I bring the rays of the sun and put a smile on everyone’s face with my warmth and light.” Indigo refused to shout with the others to make herself heard and, with quiet composure, she stated her case, “My deep waters and dark nights bring silence and deep truth to the world.” Purple pulled himself to his full height and took center stage, “I am the color of kings and ceremony; the highest and most spiritual of all colors.”

Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder and a bolt of lightning, and rain began to pour down in torrents on the colors, drowning out all the squabbling. The colors came closer together for protection, forming a band that spread out across the sky. Rain began to speak, “Why are you fighting with one another? Look how amazing it is when you all come together, each in your place, each with a different purpose, blending your unique qualities into a rainbow of hope.”

The colors listened to Rain and realized that he was right. They remembered his wisdom and shone that little bit brighter from then on.
