Rainbow legend

They say that a long time ago the colors started to fight. Everyone proclaimed that he was the most important, the most useful, the favorite.

The GREEN said: "Without a doubt, I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. They have chosen me for the grass, the trees, the leaves. Without me all the animals would die. Look around and you will see that I am in most things. "

BLUE interrupted: "You only think of the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. Water is the basis of Life and it is the clouds that absorb it from the blue sea. The sky gives space, and peace and serenity. Without my peace you would not be more than amateurs.

The YELLOW giggled: "You are so serious! I bring laughter, joy and warmth to the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world begins to smile. Without me there would be no joy. "

Then the ORANGE took the floor: "I am the color of health and strength. I may be rare but I am precious to the internal needs of human life. I transport the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes and papayas. I'm not, all the time spinning around, but when I color the sky at dawn or twilight my beauty is so impressive that no one thinks about you. "

RED could not contain himself any longer and jumped: "I am the color of courage and danger. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire to the blood. Without me the earth would be empty like the moon. I am the color of passion and love; of the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy. "

The PURPLE reddened with all its might. He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of the realization and power. Kings, heads of state, bishops, have always chosen me, because they are the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me; He listens to me and obeys me. "

AÑIL spoke much more calmly than the others, but with equal determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You will rarely repair me, but without me you would all be superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep waters. You need me for balance and contrast, prayer and inner peace.

This was how the colors were showing off, each one convinced that he was the best. His quarrel became louder and louder. Suddenly, a glow of bright white light appeared. There were lightning bolts that echoed with a clatter. The rain began to fall pitifully, implacably. The colors began to curl up in fear, approaching each other for protection.

The rain spoke: "You are crazy, colors, fighting against yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Do you not know that God has made you all? Each one for a special purpose, unique, different. He loved you all. Gather your hands and come with me. "

God wants to spread you through the world in a great rainbow of color, as a reminder that he loves you all, that you can live together in peace, as a promise that he is with you, as a sign of hope for tomorrow. " And that's how God used the rain to wash the world. And put the rainbow in the sky so that, when you see it, you remember that you have to consider each other.
