The dispute of colors, a story for children about cooperation

One day the colors of the world began to discuss among themselves, since each one pretended to be the best, the most important , The most beautiful, the most useful and favorite of all.

The green affirmed: 'I am the most essential, it is undeniable. I represent life and hope. I have been chosen as the grass, the trees and the leaves. Without me, the animals would die. Look at the field and you will see that I am the most present. '

The blue took the floor: 'You only think about the earth, but you forget the sky and the ocean. Water is the basis of life. And the sky gives us space, peace and serenity. Without me, none of you would be anything. '

The yellow laughed at those words: 'What a grace you both make me! I bring laughter, joy and warmth to the world. The proof is that the sun is yellow like the moon and the stars. And if you look at the sunflower, he will show you that I am life, without me, there would be no pleasure in this life. '

The orange raised his voice in the tumult: 'I am the color of health and strength. Maybe they see me less often than you, but I am useful for the needs of human life. I transport the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, mangoes and papayas. I am not present all the time, but when I color the sky in the sunrises or sunsets my beauty is such that it no longer looks only at you, it looks at me. '

Red, who had remained aloof until then, took the high and strong word: 'I am the boss of all colors, because I am the blood, the energy of life. I am the color of danger and courage. I am always willing to fight for a cause. Without me, the earth would be empty like the moon. I am the color of passion and love, of the red rose, poinsettia and poppies.

The purple stood up and spoke with dignity: 'I am the color of royalty and power. The kings, the chiefs and the bishops chose me because I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not interrogate me, they listen to me and obey me. '

Finally the indigo took the word much more calmly than the others but with the same determination: 'Think of me, I am the color of silence. Maybe you have not seen me, but without me, you would be insignificant. I represent thought and reflection, the shadow of twilight and the depths of water. You need me for balance, contrast and inner peace.

And so, the colors continued to boast each other convinced of their own superiority. Their dispute became stronger and stronger. But suddenly, a lightning bolt appeared in the sky and the thunder growled. The rain began to fall hard and, restless, the colors approached each other to feel more secure. And in the midst of the clamor the rain took the floor: - 'Idiots! Do not stop arguing and each try to command over others! Do you not know that each one of you exists for a special reason, unique and different? Gather your hands and come with me. ' -The colors obeyed- And the rain continued: 'From now on, when it rains, each one of you will cross the sky to form a great arc of colors and show that you can live together in harmony. The rainbow is a sign of hope for life and every time the rain laves the world, a rainbow will appear in the sky, to remind the world that we must love each other.
