The Whys of Weather: The Colors of the Rainbow

Once upon a time all of the colors started to argue. Green, blue, yellow, orange, red, indigo,
and violet fought over who was the most beautiful. Each color wanted to be everyone’s
favorite.

Green spoke first. “Look around you. See the grass and the trees. I am the color of Earth.
Without me, no animal could live. Look at the farms in the countryside. Look at the forests. I
am more places on Earth than any of you.”

Blue broke in with a joke. "You are only Green with envy.” All of the colors laughed. Blue was
the friendliest of the colors. He continued, “You may be on land, but think of me! I am the
color of the ocean and the sky. I am the water people drink and the air they breathe. I am the
rain that makes trees and flowers grow. I bring kindness and serenity.”

Yellow danced around and said, “Yes! You may be the color of the sky, but the sky would
never be blue without me! I splash the world with puddles of sunlight, not rain! I bring
happiness. Without me, Green, your grass would never grow. I am sunflowers, sunshine, and
smiles!”

Orange came next. In a very serious voice, Orange said, “Yellow, you play too much. I am the
most beautiful. Who has never paused to see a beautiful sunset? I bring happiness at the end
of the day. I am rare, but precious, like a great gem.”

Then Red interrupted with a yell, “Listen to me! I am strength! I am power in battle. I am the
color of blood that pumps in the heart and brings life. I am fire and passion. Who could ever
fall in love without red? Who could ever smell the beautiful rose?”

Purple spoke and everyone listened. Purple was very respected among the colors. “Colors, I
am the color of royalty. My depth is great. I combine the power of Red with the kindness of
Blue. Through the ages, I have been the color of wisdom.”

Finally, the timid voice of Indigo joined the conversation. Indigo was quiet, but determined.
"I, too, am important. I am the color that fills the sky before blackness. I am the color in the
depths of the sea. The deepest thoughts are shaded Indigo. I bring philosophy."

The colors kept quarreling. They all started speaking at once. Rain heard the noise and became
angry. He made lightning crash from the sky. All the colors huddled together in fear. Rain
scolded the colors: “What are you fighting about? You are all special. You are all different.
None of you is the best. Without all of the colors, the world would be sad.”

Rain told the colors to hold hands as a sign that they were friends again. But Rain would not
let the colors forget his lesson. From then on, after big storms, Rain made the colors join
hands in the sky. In the rainbow, all the colors are together as a symbol of peace and hope.
