　　Blue interrupted,“You only think about the 　　2　　, but consider the sky and the sea．　　3　　 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 　　4　　．”

　　Yellow chuckled(笑道),“You are all so serious．I bring laughter, fun, and 　　5　　 into the world．”

　　Then came Purple and Indigo(深蓝)…．

　　In the midst of the clamor(叫嚷), rain began to speak,“You foolish colors, fighting 　　14　　yourselves, each trying to dominate　　15　　．Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, 　　16　　?Join hands with 　　17　　 and come to me．”

　　Doing as they were told, the colors 　　18　　 and joined hands．They formed a colorful rainbow．From then on, whenever a good rain 　　19　　 the world, a rainbow appears in the sky．They remember to 　　20　　 one another．
