There was this lazy, little town high up on the mountains and in the middle of this town was a very large, oval-shaped pond. The pond was full of many different colored small fish that made them look like little rainbows. They swam happily around the pond from morning till night.
Except for this one fish. He swam sadly around the pond all by himself. This fish was so sad because his body was all brown without any color on it. To make things worse, the other fish would not swim and play with him because he was different. This went on every day, day after day until early one morning, a small boy was playing near the pond and dropped his rainbow ring in it by mistake. Now, the brown fish was swimming by, and the ring got stuck around his body and wouldn’t come off.
As fast as lightning, a large group of colorful fish swam over to the brown fish and couldn’t believe their eyes. There were beautiful, sparkling, rainbow colors on the brown fish’s body. Not one fish realized the colors were coming from the little boy’s rainbow ring.
From that day on, brown fish wasn’t sad anymore. He was colorful, too and all the other fish made sure he was included with them. As happy as the brown fish was now, he told all the colorful fish how sad he was when they excluded him. He told them no fish should be left out because it is different.
Feelings are the same no matter what color you are!
