How the first rainbow was created?
Welcome back!
Rainbow across the sky
Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best. The most important. The most useful. The favorite.
Green said:
“Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority.”
Blue interrupted:
“You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing.”
Yellow chuckled:
“You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun.”
Orange started next to blow her trumpet:
“I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don’t hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you.”
Red could stand it no longer he shouted out:
“I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life’s blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy.”
Purple rose up to his full height:
He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: “I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.”
Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination:
“Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace.”
And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.
In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak:
“You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me.”
Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. The rain continued:
“From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow.” And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.

Each one of us have our special purpose, unique and different and when we embrace them. We can create something so beautiful that will stretch across the sky.

Giovanna,
I love this story. I had never read it… The principles it teaches are wonderful! The fact that each one is unique and each serves a purpose just as we human beings do… We don’t need to compare ourselves to anybody. We just need to be ourselves and become our “BEST” selves… Great post.
This is great! I love rainbows so I was immediately drawn to this post…and it’s wonderful. Thanks for sharing this.
Dear Giovana, rainbows have a personal meaning in mi life, they have appeared to my eyes 5 times and not by casualty, it was a sign from God, to remember me his covenant, that He will be with me in any afficted situation, as a matter of fact, it was on moments of afliction thay they have appeared to me. The point is that today I am aflicted again, and have seen the rainbow again in the screen of the computer, in your blog, it is not coincidence. It is very frightenig situation I am in, my whole family, but my hope has strenghten by the sign of the rainbow. thanks!!!…and the story is so lovely, with a very sweet and true message. You realy have brighten the rest of my day.!!!!Be blessed!!!!
Hi Giovanna,
Rainbows are a real attraction for me - their colors lighting up a darkened sky! And I love the message here - that we’re all unique, and have special gifts to offer. What a message of hope!
Love the use of colours in this post, Giovanna!
Giovanna, Thank you for such a lovely story. Working together for a greater purpose. That is how it should be. Great job.

Beautiful way to paint the value of differences and synergy!
Hi Giovanna,
Amen to every bit of that piece! We each have something to offer to the world and we each have a purpose.
Hi Gio .. I love rainbows .. we had prisms as kids (my brother has then now) which made rainbows for us .. and now I have prisms hanging in my windows spilling rainbows around when the sun shines through .. I just love them.
I love the analogy of each of the colours .. self opinionated fellows aren’t they? No wonder the rain had to take them in hand and lead them to plant their seeds to be more sensibly fruitful ..
Thanks Gio .. Hilary Melton-Butcher

Love it, how refreshing. When we get hooked on competition we do more striving and less thriving. Also there are 6 1/2 billion people in the world. Enough clients for everyone!
Thank-you for sharing this wonderful story that reminds us that we each bring our own gifts to the table of life.
