Once upon a time, there was a magical place called the Land of Colors, located just below the sky . In this land, each color was a living entity. Red represented courage, blue peace, yellow joy, green nature, and purple imagination.
Colors lived together, beautifying the world. Flowers bloomed because of them, rainbows shone because of them.
But one day something unexpected happened.
A grey wind, called the Pale Wind , came to the country . This wind had grown stronger when it saw people fighting, polluting nature, and forgetting to share. As it blew, it began to erase the colors.
First, the yellow faded. The children’s laughter diminished.
Then the green disappeared. The trees began to look unhappy.
Then the blue weakened. Even the sky grew sad.
The colors were gathered in fear.
“If we disappear, the world will be colorless,” said Blue.
Just then, a little girl appeared. Her name was Lina . Lina loved to paint, but lately she had noticed that her paints had faded. The colors appeared to her.
“Only the good intentions in the hearts of children can bring us back,” said Mor.
Lina started thinking. “Then we should remind people!” she said.
The next day, Lina went to school. She shared her toys with her friends. She helped a friend who fell. She picked up the trash in the yard. Every time she did something good, a little light shone on her.
Suddenly, Yellow shone again.
Other children saw it and started doing the same things. One apologized, one watered the tree, one helped their sibling.
Green returned.
Blue repainted the sky.
Red shone with courage.
Purple shimmered with dreams.
Finally, Pale Wind shrank, shrank, and disappeared.
The colors formed a huge rainbow in the sky. They thanked Lina.
“Remember,” said Blue, “colors live not only in paints, but also in people’s behavior.”
From that day on, the children learned this:
Sharing brightens the world.
Protecting nature beautifies the future.
Doing good brings color back.
And whenever a child does something good, another little rainbow appears in the sky, invisible to the eye.
The fairy tale’s moral
True colors emerge from the goodness in our hearts.
