   “Then one of the moths went to ask the butterflies for help. But the butterflies didn't want to 18 any of their colors,so the moths decided to make a rainbow themselves. They beat their wings very hard and the colors on them made a rainbow. They kept giving a little more and a little more 19 the rainbow went across the sky.
