How the (European) goldfinch got his colors.
The story:
When the birds were created they all were white, they had to be painted by the angels.
The angels stood in a row, each with a paint can. Most birds wanted to be colored and flew by the angels. The hummingbirds and parakeets went for green, blue, purple and red, the bluebird for blue, the tanager and robin for red or orange, the crow and blackbird for black, the yellow cardinal and canary for yellow.. One finch was curious and playful, he wasn't in a hurry to get his colors, he flew around to discover the world: shrubs the leaves, berries, seeds and sandy mud. So this far he only had white and muddy brown on his feathers.
Until the moment he looked around and saw that the other birds had such a beautiful colors. He hurried to the angels, but most of the paint was used. No purple nor orange was left. The angel with the black had one inch of paint on the bottom, the goldfinch got some brushstrokes, The amount of yellow was even smaller: just two patches for the wings. For the rest: there were only some drops of red left. Therefore the goldfinch wanted them on his head. And so it happened.
The mud stayed, the goldfinch always flew quickly from hither to tither and in the sun the mud with all the colors looked so bright that the people called his appearance gold.
