The Sun and the Clouds were the best of friends. They worked side by side every day—warming the world, helping gardens grow, and painting the sky with bright, beautiful rainbows. But one morning they had a big argument. They turned their backs on each other and refused to share the sky. And without the Sun and the Clouds together, the rainbows disappeared. Soon the colors began to fade from flowers, houses, clothes—everything—until the whole Earth turned gray. Everything except one tiny forgotten box of crayons hiding in a school desk.
