Something to make you smile:)

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 just chuckled

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."

Indigo finally 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.

Friendship is like a rainbow - Red like an apple, sweet to the core. Orange,
like a burning flame, never dying out. Yellow like the sun that brightens your
day. Green like a plant that keeps on growing. Blue like the water that is so
pure. Purple like a flower that is ready to bloom. Indigo like the dreams that
fill your heart.

Thank you for your friendship!
