Question

【題目】Long long ago, the colours of the world started to quarrel. Green said, “Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. Without me, all animals would die.” Blue said, “You only think about the earth instead of considering the sky and the sea. Without my peace, you would be nothing.” Yellow laughed, “You are all so serious. I bring fun and warmth into the world.” Orange shouted, “I am the colour of health and strength. I am the most important because I serve the needs of people’s life.” Red shouted out, “I am the most important of all. I am the colour of danger, bravery and love. I am glad to fight for truth.” Then Purple and Indigo came…

The colours went on quarreling, each saying he or she was the most important. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly it thundered and rained hard. The colours felt so frightened that they stopped quarreling and got together for comfort（安慰）.

At this time, rain began to speak, “You foolish colours, quarreling among yourselves, each trying to be the most important. You don’t know that you each were made for a special purpose. Join hands with each other and come to me.”
