Once upon a time, all birds were white.
"Make me beautiful, Grandfather Magic," said Woodpecker.
"Come, I will paint you a beautiful color," said Grandfather Magic. Woodpecker was now red. A little bird looked at Woodpecker. She wanted to look beautiful, too. "This is my favourite flower," said the little bird to Grandfather Magic. "Will you paint me the same color as this flower?" Grandfather Magic painted the little bird a beautiful yellow. The yellow bird went to Woodpecker. "Look how beautiful I am, Woodpecker!" said the yellow bird. "No, no, I am more beautiful than you," argued Woodpecker. Oriole tried to calm them down by holding them apart. During the fight, the yellow color of the little bird mixed with the red color of Woodpecker. Oriole became… orange! "O-o-range, o-o-riole! O-o-range, o-o-riole!" The parrots teased Oriole. Oriole chased after them angrily.
