Read together
Once upon a time, there was a colorful kingdom ruled by King Blue. He had 10 advisors, each representing a different color: Orange, White, Red, Green, Purple, Black, Yellow, Brown, Pink. One day, King Blue declared a contest to see who could make him laugh the most.
Orange told jokes about peeling. White tried to be funny but came out bland. Red tried to be silly but only ended up being hot and bothered. Green tickled the king with vines. Purple made silly faces. Black tried to be dark humor but scared the king. Yellow was sour about not being chosen to go first. Brown told jokes about dirt. Pink tried to be cute but just ended up being too sweet.
In the end, the winner was a mixture of all the colors: a rainbow! The king laughed so hard, he declared that rainbows would be the official court jesters. And they all lived happily ever after, always bringing a smile to the kingdom.
