Three colors- red, yellow, and blue

Once there were three friends- Mr. Red, Mr. Blue, and Mr. Yellow. They all worked very hard, using their colors to help people make pictures.

Three colors- red, yellow, and blue

All three friends loved their own colors. But sometimes they wondered- what would happen if we worked together to make pictures?
