Mix-Match
Long ago, when the gods had just finished painting the universe, they left it out to dry. The King of the Gods was checking if everything was alright. Soon, he spotted the planet destined to support life-our planet- The Earth. And what a planet it was! The King moved closer to get a better view.
The wind blew rustling the leaves,in the distance,the water in a cool stream gurgled and the trees swayed with joy. What could go wrong in such a wonderful place? But unfortunately something was wrong. Many colours were missing! The grass wasn't green, the soil wasn't brown and the flowers weren't purple. Now you'd say "How can anything be colourless,because at the end of the day even black and white are colours?" Stop being daft, and let me continue the story.
"Oh, no! How did this happen?" Exclaimed the King of the Gods. He quickly summoned the God of art who was in-charge of painting the universe.
"What is this? How could you make such a terrible mistake? There are many colours missing on the The Earth." An angry King blurted out.
"I'm sorry my lord. But, we are out of paint. We only have red, blue and yellow left." The God of art said displaying the cans of paint.
"There must be a way to sort this out. Like it is said there is no lock manufactured without a key, in the same way there is no problem without a solution. Even this problem will have a solution. Aha! I shall ask the God of wisdom for help." The King said to himself.
When the God of wisdom arrived, the King told him his problem.
"Hmm... I remember working on this. I just have happened to have forgotten it. Give me some time to think." The God of wisdom said leaning against a can of blue paint. Suddenly the can of blue paint lost its balance and some paint fell into the yellow can of paint.
"No!" Yelled the God of art, "Those were the last cans we had!" His face spelled despair. The God of wisdom looked into the can of yellow paint and a broad smile spread over his face.
"Aha! Now I remember!" He said triumphantly. The King of Gods and the God of art looked at the God of wisdom like he'd just uttered the greatest absurdity.
"Don't be ludicrous. We just lost our can of perfectly yellow paint!" The God of art said wringing his hands.
"I think we should listen." The King of Gods said solemnly.
"Look into that can of paint," The God of wisdom said, "The blue paint has turned some of the yellow paint green. In the same way we can make purple by mixing red and blue. And orange by mixing yellow and red." The King of Gods looked impressed.
"Oh, I understand now. I shall complete my duty as early as I can. Sorry for the delay." The God of art said and went to finish his work.
After the painting of the universe was completed, a huge colour mixing party was held in the honour of the God of wisdom. Legend has it that the gods are still having the party. That is why the sky seems to change colour everyday.
