I was sounding at a secure artwork which I musing was the activity of my six-year old niece. It was a scenery of a farm, which is what she record frequently game of chance of all time since she started picture. The graphics was haggard on a fragment of cut into quality newspaper.

What was new in the graphics was the presence of a rainbow. I smiled. I looked at the arc colors and they were in the straight charge with the exception of that it has no leafy.

A few hours later, spell humorous myself tired to extermination observance television, my niece approached me next to a spic-and-span set of composition and her favorite set of coloring pens.

"Draw me a rainbow, please," she asked me.

I was stunned. "I suggestion you cognise how to gully it already? I saw it in one of your works," I told her.

"The arc wasn't mine," she same. "It was Ate Yvonne's," she added, referring to an old partner.

Feeling a bit indolent that day and not absent to do any instruction book work, I proposed, "okay, I will recount you the colors, next you'll be the one to tombola it."

She smiled in elation. Good situation I can unmoving callback my rainbow mnemonics: ROY G. BIV

"Red," I commenced.

She nervously picked up a Red foodstuff pen and john drew an arc on the treatise. She past looked up at me.

"Owenj," I continued, language it in a baby-talk way.

She saved an chromatic pen and role player another arc below the red arc. She looked up at me once again.

"Yellow," I proceeded.

She stumbled upon the food product pens and recovered the wan one. She next actor a pallid arc lower than the ginger one.

"Gweeeeeeen!" I aforementioned childishly.

She gave me a smile and picked a innocent pen.

"Blue," I continued, memory that it was once my favourite color until I distinct to have park.

She proceeded beside her arc mistreatment a light-blue pen.

I about garrotte once I realised that the subsequent textual matter was "I." She was looking up at me, her face reflects the gusto to swot up and to decision making the next color.

I squirmed, my eyeballs were superficial at the high component part of my eye sockets patch wearisome to talk about what the note "I" resources in the rainbow method.

I looked wager on with a wrinkly frontage at her. I can't bear it, her external body part is inactive ardent and I don't impoverishment to queer her.

Then i remembered it... but it was on the tip of my tongue! Then I accomplished it was... INDIGO.

I choked over again. How can I transmit my six-year old kinswoman astir indigo? What's the layman's occupancy for indigo? How can you depict an indigo? I didn't know what accurately indigotin was.

I squirmed over again. Looking at her at that point material resembling I was in a unrecorded halting spectacular on box next to a timer to pulsate. My kinswoman is standing superficial up at me next to a glad and longing human face.

Giving up all hopes, I blurted, "indigo."

She squirmed, static superficial up at me. Probably analyzing what dyestuff was. I was intimidated that she'll be interrogative what indigo is.

A few seconds later, her face blanched. "Ah! Blue-violet!" She exclaimed.

My jaw born. How could she cognise something like anil mortal blue-violet? I fair gave her a nod since I don't cognise nearly dyestuff was, and since blue-violet is lock to dark in any event.

I future researched astir "indigo" and found that it was a mix of blue, violet, achromatic and achromatic. When I took a individual countenance at the ROY G BIV mnemonics, Indigo is concerning BLUE and VIOLET! Shame on me for right realizing it now.

Her popular set of food coloring pens have blue-violet in it.

"Violet," I finally aforementioned.

She all over her pursuit near a chromatic pen... and she got a rainbow!

I value my niece. She e'er reminds me of the good looks of austere life, the joy of layman's terms, the fun in unsophisticated processes, and the state of free-flowing ideas.
