Traffic Lights

Three children at a Kindergarten Class, after learning the traffic lights and their rules, answered to their teachers when being asked which light they want to become and why.
The first said "I want to become the red one, as when I appear everyone should stop what they are doing, so I am the most powerful".
The second said "I want to become the green one, as when I appear everybody who is waiting for their chance can move and go forward".
The last one said "I want to become the yellow, because when I appear everybody can do what they like".
(From Nguyen Cao Phuc in Khanh Hoa)
