Jayden read the task and then said, "No way can we find all these colors in nature" Ms. Snyder said, "1 you look for them carefully, you will."

Jayden looked around. Some colors were easy to 2 . The grass was green. The dirt (泥土) was brown. And since it was autumn, the leaves were orange, yellow, and red. But where were purple and blue?

"3 colors have you found?" Ms. Snyder asked. "Five."

"You will find more colors if you spend less time focusing on (集中于) your paper and more time looking around 4 ," Ms. Snyder said.

Jayden picked his 5 up from his paper. He saw a small stream (小溪). "The water looks blue," he said.

"Yes, it 6 the color of the sky," Ms. Snyder said.

The 7 ! Why didn't he think of that sooner? "The sky is blue," he wrote the answer on his paper. Jayden saw his friend Allie and said to her, "I have found 8 colors, but I still can't find purple." "You aren't careful enough." "Yes. I am."

"Really?" She lowered her eyes to the ground. Red leaves surrounded (包围) them. Jayden 9 a leaf. "It is red, not." He stopped when he saw the back of the leaf.

"The back is purple." "Yes," Allie smiled.

‘'Jayden,' Ms. Snyder asked. "Have you found all the 10 ?"

"Yes. But I'm sure there are even more." He continued trying to find more colors in nature.
