***********************************

“Here comes your knight in shining armor, oh dear damsel in distress,” may halong pagkainis na sabi ni Kuya Brando na ang tinutukoy ay si Harry. Binitawan niya ang magkabila kong balikat saka humakbang palayo sa akin. Nanatiling nakatayo sa may likuran ko habang nakatitig pa rin kay Harry.
  
Si Harry naman ay palipat-lipat ang tingin kay Kuya Brando at sa akin. Hawak sa isang kamay ang CD. Parang naghihintay ng sagot sa tanong niya.
  
Ako naman ay gulat pa din sa paglitaw ni Harry sa pintuan. Masyado kasi akong na-carried away sa sitwasyon kaya ang tanging focus ko lang ay ang ina-anticipate ko na mangyayari sana…malapit na sana…andoon na…napurnada pa. Kaya naman kagaya ni Kuya Brando medyo nainis din ako kay Harry.
  
“Anong nangyayari? Naghihilamos lang ako,” defensive kong sabi kay Harry sa medyo mataas na tinig.
  
Tumingin muli sa akin si Kuya Brando saka pabulong na sinabi, “I better go. See you.” Humakbang na ito papuntang pintuan.
  
Sinundan ko siya ng tingin. Kita ko si Harry na nakaharang pa rin sa pintuan nakatingin sa papalapit na si Kuya Brando. Kinabahan tuloy ako na baka sila magpang-abot. Naka-chin up naman si Kuya Brando at saka tumigil sa harapan ni Harry.

The Color of Friendship

******************************************

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.
All claimed that they were the best.
The most important.
The most useful.
The favorite. 


Green said:
"Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."


Blue interrupted:
"You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."


Yellow chuckled:
"You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."


Orange started next to blow her trumpet:
"I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."


Red could stand it no longer he shouted out:
"I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."


Purple rose up to his full height:
He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey."


Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."

And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.

In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak:
"You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me."


Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.

The rain continued:
"From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow." And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.
