Coloured Rings

(Them children sat by the creek. Then walked in, I.)

Children: "what colour are them little circles that keep falling down, falling down from the skies?"
I: "you mean the ones you see when you quickly close and open your eyes?"
Children: "Ah! You see them too?"
I: "Oh yes I do! I thought I was the only one that ever saw them"
Children: "No, no, no - we see them too - but tell us what colour are they?"
I: "I have an idea. Let us see them rings, our own, and tell each other their colour aloud. That would be a nice game to play, don't you think?"
Children: "Alright! hmm... green, golden, red, pink, yellow, blue, purple, green, silver..."
I: "blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue ..."

(After a while)

Children & I : "That was fun! Ha ha ha ha!"
