It was six in the morning. Sandy got up and got dressed. She wore her blue jeans, her blue shoes, a blue T-shirt and a blue coat because her favourite colour was blue. At school her friends said, “Wow, what a great colour!” And Sally answered, “Yes, thank you. Blue is my favourite colour. All the children liked the colour. From that day on June 6th was called The-Blue-Colour-Day and since then all people have been wearing blue clothes. Andrea
Once upon a time I had an interesting dream. There was only the colour blue. The grass was blue, the streets were blue, the houses were blue, even the people were blue. Everything blue! In the zoo there were blue animals. But one thing was not blue. It was the water. That was really strange! I couldn't understand it. Suddenly I woke up. It was midnight. I got up, went into the kitchen and had a snack. Then I went to bed again and soon got fast asleep. When I woke up in the morning, everything was as usual. I was really happy! Michael
One day Franzi cycled around a blue lake on his blue bike. Then Albert came and threw the blue ball on Franzi´s head. Franzi fell down with his blue bike and landed in the blue lake. The blue bike sank to he ground of the blue lake. Franzi wanted to have his blue bike back and asked Albert for help. Albert and Franzi pulled out the blue bike. Franzi was very happy, went home and Albert played with his blue ball. Armin
In the jungle there live lots of animals.
And all the tigers, lions, snakes, spiders, monkeys and crocodiles are blue.
But one little bird is red.
He can never play with the other baby animals, because they are all blue and they don't like red animals.
Suddenly the little red bird has an idea. He takes some blue colour, mixes it with water and takes a swim in it.
When he comes out of it, he is blue. He goes to the other blue animals and plays with them. The little blue monkey has an idea
"We can go swimming", he said.
'The bird jumps into the water.
Now the bird is red again.
When the other animals jump into the water, they suddenly all get red.
They had only been painted blue.
Now all are happy and play together happily. Teresa
In Australia there lived a bird. His name was Blue because he was a blue bird.
All the other birds were red and green. So nobody liked Blue. One day he flew away.
In Papua Neuguinea there were lots of birds and they all were so friendly. One day a
flock of birds came and said that the colour blue was great. All the birds in Papua Neuguinea liked Blue. Alexandra
