Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple were good friends. They studied together and had fun together. However, White was always alone in the class, because the six classmates thought she were not as beautiful as them.

One fine morning, Grey, the teacher, came to the class and said to the students, ‘Good morning, class. Last time we talked about how to use preposition, now everyone of you has to make a sentence by using the word “without”…’

Being too impatient to wait until the teacher finished his words, the students made up and spoke out their sentences immediately.

Red said, ‘without me flowers would not attract bees.’

Orange said, ‘without me fish would not have graceful tails.’

Yellow said, ‘without me the Sun would not brighten our paths.’

Green said, ‘without me the blades of grass would just lower their heads.’

Blue said, ‘without me birds would not even bother the sky.’

Purple said, ‘without me butterflies would not have attractive dresses.’

‘Yes!’ They cheered, almost at once, ‘without us, a rainbow would vanish!’

The classroom was full of joy and laughter, which went on until the teacher spoke again.

‘It’s your turn.’ Grey reminded White, who was always left behind in the back of the classroom. The whole class sniggered, whispered to each other and thought she would be dumb as a fish.

Then White, seeming inattentive, said, ‘well, without me, there are no clouds and no rains. How can a rainbow appear?’

The six classmates of White were struck dumb by White’s sentence. The classroom was suddenly in dead silence.

Noticing that, the teacher smiled and said, ‘everyone did a good job. Please see my sentence.’ Then he wrote on the blackboard a sentence ‘Without having a prejudiced view upon others, all of us will be living in a stronger group.’

When class was finished, the six colours came to White and invited her to play with them. From then on, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple and White became good friends.
