Story 13. Colours

Jake got out a piece of paper.

Then he found a paintbrush and four colours of paint.

He had red, yellow, blue, and white.

He painted a red boat floating on blue water.

He painted a yellow sun peeking through white clouds.

I need orange for my picture, said Jake.

He mixed some of the red with some of the yellow.

It made a nice shade of orange.

That's better, said Jake, but I need green too.

He mixed some of the yellow with some of the blue.

It made a nice shade of green.

That's better, said Jake.

What about purple?

I need purple as well.

He mixed some of the blue with some of the red.

It made a nice shade of purple.

Much better, said Jake.

Now I'm ready to paint a rainbow.
