The fish don t seem to be very hungry today, said Dad after a little while, but it sure is nice out here with the blue sky and water and the green grass and trees. It s all so peaceful. It makes me forget all about the office. Alex turned to his dad. We ve been studying about colors in school, he said.
Scientists say that blue slows down the heart rate and green helps prevent eyestrain.
That makes them restful colors. He checked his line, but the fish still weren't biting. Just imagine what it would be like if the sky were bright red and all the leaves were black. Alex laughed at the word picture Dad had painted. We learned that red is supposed to raise blood pressure, so I bet that wouldn't make people feel very good, he said.
