“ Just because something is ugly outside doesn’t mean it’s not beautiful inside.”

　　“ Do you know why moths are brown?”

　　Moths are the most beautiful animals in the animal kingdom. At one time they were more colorful than the butterflies. They have always been helpful, kind, and generous creatures. One day the angels up in heaven were crying. They were sad because it was cloudy and they couldn’t look down upon the people on earth. Their tears fell down to the earth as rain. The sweet little moths hated to see everyone so sad .They decided to make a rainbow. The moths figured that if they asked their cousins, the butterflies to help, they could all give up just a little bit of their colors and they could make a beautiful rainbow.

　　One of the littlest moths flew to ask the queen of the butterflies for help. The butterflies were too vain and selfish to give up any of their colors for neither the people nor the angels. So the moths decided to make the rainbow by themselves. They beat their wings very hard and the power on them formed little clouds that the winds smoothed over like glass. Unfortunately, the rainbow wasn’t big enough so the moths kept giving a little more and a little more until the rainbow stretched all the way across the sky. They had given away all their color except brown, which didn’t fit into their beautiful rainbow.

　　Now the once colorful moths were plain and brown. The angels up in the heaven saw the rainbow, and became joyous. They smiled and warmth of their smiles shone down on the earth as sunshine. The warm sunshine made people on the earth happy and they smiled, too.

　　Now every time it rains the baby moths, who still have their colors, spread themselves across the sky to made more rainbow.
