Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. Green said, "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. With?out me all animals would 1      " Blue interrupted, "You only think about the 2       ,but consider the sky and the sea. 3       the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. Without my peace you would all be 4      .”

Yellow chuckled (笑道) ,"You are all so serious. I bring laughter fun and 5       into the world."

Orange started next to blow her trumpet, "I am the color of health and strength. I may be 6       but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. When I fill the sky 7       ,my beauty is so striking that no one gives another 8       to any of you.”

Red could stand it 9       and he shouted out, "I am the ruler of all of you. I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to 10       truth. I am also the color of passion and love.”

Then came Purple and Indigo(深蓝) .…

The colors went on boasting each convinced of his or her own 11       Their quarreling be?came louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightning. Thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down 12      . The colors crouched(蜷缩) down 13       drawing close to one another for comfort.

In the midst of the clamor(叫嚷) rain began to speak, "You foolish colors fighting 14       yourselves each trying to dominate 15      . Don't you know that you were each made for a spe?cial purpose 16       and different? Join hands with 17       and come to me.”

Doing as they were told,the colors 18       and joined hands. They formed a colorful rain?bow. From then on,whenever a good rain 19       the world, a rainbow appears in the sky. They remember to 20       one another.
