And lo! There were 
beautiful flowers all 
over the garden. The 
Sun was up there 
shining in its yellow 
glory.
After giving colours 
to the flowers and the 
Sun, the rainbow was 
gone……
She coloured one 
flower with violet, 
and another with 
the indigo of the 
rainbow. One with 
the blue and leaves 
with the green…. 
One with orange…. 
One with red….
But she left the 
yellow so that the 
Sun may look bright 
and gay.
