yes true !
Long ago, at the beginning of time, the colours of the world quarrelled. Each claimed that it was the best, the most beautiful, the most important, the most useful, and the favourite colour.
Green said, "Look at the grass and the leaves and the trees. Clearly, you can see that I am the most important colour. I am the colour of life and of hope. Look around and you see that I am everywhere."Then Blue interrupted and exclaimed, "Consider the sky and the sea. Water is the basis of all life and without me there would be no blue skies. Without me, there would be nothing."Yellow laughed! "I am bright and warm and you are all so serious. Every time you look at a yellow daffodil or a big sunflower, you smile. The sun, the moon, and the stars are all yellow. The day starts and ends with me and without me you would have no fun."Orange started to boast. "I am the colour of good food that brings health and strength. Carrots, oranges, and pumpkins have valuable vitamins. An when orange fills the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that all who see me gasp in awe."Well, Red started shouting. "I am the ruler of all life. Blood is red and blood is life. I am the colour of passion and of love as you see in the red rose, the poinsettia, and the beautiful poppies."Violet stood up and was very tall. He spoke with great importance in his voice. "I am the colour of royalty and kings. Powerful people have always chosen me for I am the colour of authority and wisdom."At last, in a very quiet voice,Indigo spoke. "You hardly notice me, but although I am quiet, without me you are all nothing. You need me for balance and contrast, and for inner peace."The arguing continued, each colour boasting and bragging and quarrelling and squabbling. Each was certain that his or her colour was the absolute best. As their fighting became louder, a flash of lightning flew through the sky. Thunder cracked and boomed and rain started to pour down in buckets. The colours shook with fear and started to huddle together for comfort.Then the rain began to speak: "You colours are so foolish. You are fighting about who is best, each trying to outdo the rest. Don't you understand that you were each made for a special purpose? Each is unique and different? Join hands and follow me."Doing as the rain told them, the colours came together and joined hands. "From now on," the rain said, "when it rains, each of you will stretch out across the sky in a great arch of colour. The rainbow will be a sign of peace and hope for tomorrow."So, boys and girls, whenever rain washes the world, look for a rainbow to appear in the sky. When it appears, remember that every one of you is special. Let the colours of the rainbow remind you to appreciate yourself and one another. Hold hands with a friend and remember that together we make a rainbow of peace and hope that stretches across the world.
