One mighty day, the deities of colors were discussing on which color is most important to life on Earth. The discussion soon became a big quarrel. Green Deity rose and said with burning anger in his eyes.

"I am the almighty green. I represent earth and nature. That's why I was chosen for the grass, the leaves and the trees. Obviously with out me, all mankind will fall."

Blue Deity smirked and said with his eyes closed. "You just thought of Earth. What about the skies? What about the seas? Water and Air are the basic elements of life."

"You deities are so serious, what about me? I bring laughter, joy, and happiness to the universe. The mighty sun has been made yellow to bring happiness to all of mankind." The Yellow Deity chuckled. She's the happiest one among all deities.

"I think I'm the most important. You may not see me all the time, but I represent the vitamins that is needed for mankind to survive. Think of pumpkins, carrots, oranges." The Orange deity debated with the rest.

The Red Deity said furiously, "I am the most important color amongst all the colors! Red is the color of the blood. Life is blood! I represent strength, force, and anger!"

The twin deities, Purple Deity and Indigo Deity said in unison, "We are the most important colors! We represent royalty, passion, love, and majesty. All the kings use this color to represent them. Furthermore, our colors represents serenity."

As they quarreled on, they didn't realized that the earth beneath them, was being attacked by the evil Deity of Rain. Soon, they came to the pond where they use to look upon Earth.

"We must help mankind!" Orange panicked.
"Let's combine our color elements!" The Red Deity suggested. They surrounded the pond and joined hands. They started chanting an ancient spell, which was rewritten in the original language of magic.

After 7 chants, their color energy merged as one beam of light. It was known as the rainbow.

After the floods subsided, the rainbow reigned the skies with its arrays of colors. Mankind looks with wonders. They had never seen such arrays of colors. They were hoping to see it again.

Until now, the we consider ourselves lucky to be able to see a rainbow. A rainbow represents unity and harmony among all - regardless of race, language or religion - , peace among all skies, and an everlasting hope for a better tomorrow...
