The sky was polite after light was made and let the land go first on the fateful day that color was assigned.
Land chose green and yellow and tried out pink but ended on brown gray green and white and the sky thought she'd get her chance after that. But then Land thought that it should have more options, considering its vast range of formations from sand to clay to dirt.
"I should get all the colors cause I'm all of earth!"
The sky was unsure what to say but then it didn't have to as the late third aspect trickled in and gushed,
"What are you on about? That is simply untrue! I'm definitely bigger and I decide you!"
Water had seeped onto the scene and it wasn't having earth's greedy color scheme.
In those days water was one giant mass and all of earth's land was a single land mass formed of all the dry earth and arguably it took up a little under half of earth's surface that the sky could see. Water was larger and land didn't know as both their views were limited to the space where they dwelled, but the sky had a Birdseye view and could tell that what earth claimed was simply untrue. So it agreed with water and it was earth against the tw.
"Actually there is more of water and less of you." The sky softly stated.
Water heated now stewed and somewhat agitated said,"see land, you aren't the earth wholy."
Land was quiet a moment as it wanted to be hard headed, boldly stubborn with its head full of rocks.
Water was impatient and would be damned before it stopped from interrupting the ground and it rushed rapidly to say,"Fine, you keep all the colors you've already claimed and Sky and I will Get Blue but twice a day you have to share with the sky the full range of the rainbow. To time it... lets make it sun rise and sunset."
The land confused cracked,"That's
more like it; but it leaves you with only blue, what a sucker you are to take only one hue!"
At this water waved and almost aloof ,"That's the thing land, you've made of me an enemy. For the fact that you fibbed i now seek to conquer you. From now on I will divide you down to a few pebbles. The sky is my witness I'll erode you to rubble and then you'll know earth's natural way."
And from that moment forward up to this modern day that is exactly what water has done.
Every river, each lake, or creek, stream, or spray from a gizer or hot spring, down to glaciers melting is all simple the water having not withdrawln its threat, or "promise.
The sky also assists by carrying stratus and cumulus, and all types of clouds to rain over the dry ground.
This old rivalry is no fairy tale cause even now we can see the comraderie of the two elements. How they are still teamed up to this day; and how they have peacefully shared blue ever since.
The End
