Everywhere we look, there is colour. We see it in the sky and in the sea. There are colours in all plants and animals. Colour makes our homes and schools pretty. We see it in pictures and in books. We even see colour in our food. It makes things look good.
How can we see colour? We see colour when light hits(射入)our eyes. Dogs and many other animals can’t see colours. But bees(蜜蜂) can. They even see colours we don’t see. This helps them find flowers to fly to.
We sometimes use the names of colours to say things. People may say that they “see red” when they are angry(生气). Or you m
ay say you “feel blue”. This means you are sad. We use colour to tell things., too. Red is the colour of stop signs. It means to stop. Green means to go.
Animals come in all kinds of colours. Many of these are very pretty. An animal’s colour may say “here I am”., “stay away” or “be careful” or it may help the animal hide(隐藏). Some animals can make their colours look like the trees around them, then other animals or people can not find them.

Three rich ladies met every day by the river. They sat there and talked the whole day. Once the three ladies quarreled（争吵）. One of them said. “Look, how white and beautiful my hands are!” Another one said, “My hands are more beautiful. “ The third one said, “Mine are the most beautiful ones. “ An old beggar woman came up to them. “Beautiful ladies,” she said, “I’m old and can’t work, I’m hungry. Please give me something to eat.”
But the three ladies gave her nothing. They only asked, “Tell me, old woman, who of us has the most beautiful hands?” “I shall tell you a little later,” the old woman said and walked away.
A peasant (农民) woman was also sitting by the river. She was poor and her hands were dark because of hard work. The old woman came up to her and said, “I’m hungry. Please give me something to eat. “ The peasant woman took out her a piece of bread and gave a half of it to the old woman.
The old woman ate it and drank some water. Then she took the peasant woman by the hand, brought her before the rich ladies and said, “Now, I shall tell you whose hands are the most beautiful. The hands of the poor peasant woman are dark because of work, but they give me food; they are far more beautiful ,because your hands do nothing. ”
