6.\tNow the once colorful moths were plain and brown. The angels up in heaven saw the rainbow, and became joyous. They smiled and the warmth of their smiles shown down on the earth as sunshine. The warm sunshine made the people on earth happy and they smiled, too. Now every time it rains the baby moths, which still have their colors, spread them across the sky to make more rainbows.”
7.\tMy brother sank off to sleep with that story and hasn’t feared moths since. The story my aunt told us had been gathering dust in the back corners of my brain for years, but recently came back to me.
8.\tI have a friend named Abigail who always wears gray clothes. She is also one of the most kind and generous people I’ve ever met. When people ask her why she doesn’t wear more colors she just smiles, that smile, and says, “Gray is my color.” She knows herself and she doesn’t compromise that to appease other people. Some may see her as plain like a moth, but I know that underneath the gray, Abigail is every color of the rainbow.
1.\t飞蛾很难看，这至少是一个可靠的根据告诉我不难看之前的想法。那是我5、6岁的时候。有一次我和和弟弟约瑟夫一起到我们最喜欢的琳达阿姨家玩，并在她家住了一夜。琳达阿姨从不把我们当小孩哄，跟我们说话就像对大人一样。她还总能给我们讲最好听的故事。
2.\t那年约瑟夫只有4岁，晚上睡觉怕黑，琳达阿姨给我们掖完被子以后，留了一条门缝，让大厅里的灯光能照进房间。约瑟夫睡不着，躺在床上看天花板。我快睡着时他突然推醒我，“珍妮，快看，电灯旁边那些飞来飞去的难看玩意儿是什么呀？”（我一直乐意他问我问题，因为我比他大，当然应该比他懂得多了，即便不懂，也得装模作样地糊弄一番。）他指着围着大厅电灯飞转的蛾子问。“蛾子呗，”我随口敷衍道，“快睡吧。”
3.\t也许是不满意我的解释，或者是不喜欢围着电灯飞转的那些蛾子，约瑟夫后来在阿姨从房门经过时叫住了她，要她弄走那些难看的蛾子。阿姨问为什么时，他说，“它们好难看，好怕人，我不喜欢它们。”阿姨听后笑着摸着他的头说，“约瑟夫，外表难看的东西内在不一定不美丽哟。你知道蛾子为什么是棕色的吗？” 约瑟夫摇摇头。
4.\t蛾子是动物王国中最美丽的动物，它们原本比蝴蝶还漂亮呢，它们善良、慷慨、乐于助人。有一天，天堂里的天使哭了。他们很伤心，因为乌云密布，他们看不到地球上的人啦。天使们吧嗒吧嗒落下的眼泪掉到地球上，成了滂沱大雨。善良的蛾子不愿意看到大家这么伤心，决定编织彩虹。它们想，让蝴蝶表哥表姐们也来帮忙，大家同心协力，都来贡献一点自己的颜色，就一定能织出漂亮的彩虹。
5.\t一只小蛾子飞去向蝴蝶女王求助，可蝴蝶们都很自私，没有一只蝶儿愿意为人类和天使奉献丁点儿颜色。蛾子决定独自编织彩虹，它们拼命扇动、拍打自己的翅膀，五颜六色的粉末飘飞出，形成小小云朵，风儿将它们匀称地吹展成漂亮的弧线。可惜，弧线太小。蛾子们继续扇翅拍打，直至绚烂的彩虹经过天。
6.\t现在，原本多彩多姿的蛾子素面朝天了，变成棕色了，但天堂里的天使看到彩虹却高兴地笑了，他们温暖的笑容普照大地，变成了阳光。暖融融的阳光让地球人开心，他们也笑了。如今，每当下雨，那刚降生的蛾子依旧绚丽，飞越天空，搭成彩虹。
