Blue interrupted, “You only think about the 32 , but consider the sky and the sea. 33 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 34 .
Yellow laughed, “ You are all so serious. I bring laughter, fun, and 35 into the world.”
Orange started next to blow her trumpet, “ I am the color of health and strength. I may be _36 , but I am priceless for I serve the needs of human life. When I fill the sky at sunrise or _37 , my beauty is so striking that no one gives another 38 to any of you.
Red could stand it 39 and he shouted out, “I am the ruler of all of you. I am the color of danger and bravery. I am willing to 40_ truth. I am also the color of passion and of love.”

In the midst of the shout, rain began to speak, “You foolish colors, fight 44 yourselves, each trying to dominate(统治) 45 . Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, 46 and different? Join hands with one 47 and come to me.”
Doing as they were told, the colors 48 and joined hands. They formed a colorful rainbow. From then on, whenever a good 49 washes the world, a rainbow appears in the sky. They remember to 50 one another.
