the day colors forgot to come and how
0:03
one brave kid painted the world back One
0:05
morning in the bright bustling town of
0:07
Kidavville something very strange
0:09
happened The sun peaked over the hills
0:12
like usual but it forgot to bring the
0:13
colors with it The sky wasn't blue The
0:16
grass wasn't green The flowers weren't
0:18
red or yellow or pink Everything
0:22
everything was shades of gray At first
0:24
people thought it was a joke But when
0:26
even the rainbow ice cream at Mr
0:28
Giggles's shop came out looking like
0:30
plain gray mush Panic began to set in
0:32
"What happened to the colors?" cried
0:35
Miss Maple as she looked at her garden
0:36
of dull gray roses "Even my socks are
0:39
boring," moaned Mayor Mo lifting up his
0:42
feet But one kid didn't panic Her name
0:45
was Laya Bloom She was 7 years old had
0:48
curly hair full of clips and always
0:50
carried her art backpack like it was a
0:52
treasure chest And in a way it was Laya
0:56
loved colors More than anything she
0:59
loved how yellow felt like sunshine on
1:01
toast how blue whispered like wind
1:04
through leaves and how red could shout
1:06
or sing depending on the day So when the
1:08
world turned gray Laya wasn't scared She
1:13
determined I'm going to bring the colors
1:15
back she said with a spark in her eye
1:18
She opened her backpack and pulled out
1:20
her favorite paintbrush the one with the
1:21
sparkly handle and bristles that seemed
1:23
to tingle with magic Then she dipped it
1:25
into a jar of paint she had mixed
1:26
herself Rainbow whirlwind It shimmerred
1:30
even in the gray light She touched the
1:32
brush to a brick wall Swoosh The brick
1:35
burst into red Then orange Then purple
1:38
swirls like a dancing dragon The wall
1:40
sang and the color stuck Laya grinned
1:44
It's working She ran through the town
1:46
like a shooting star painting fire
1:48
hydrants bubblegum pink park benches
1:51
sunny yellow and clouds and shades of
1:53
cotton candy dreams Wherever she painted
1:56
the color stayed and more importantly it
1:58
spread Her bluebirds flew across
2:00
rooftops coloring the sky Her green
2:03
grass grew back in giggles Her
2:05
sunflowers on the sidewalk winked at
2:07
passers by Soon other kids joined in Max
2:12
brought crayons Zoe had chalk Even baby
2:15
Finn slapped finger paint on his diaper
2:18
and crawled his way into art history
2:20
With every stroke Kaleidavville
2:22
brightened Color returned not just to
2:24
the walls and skies but to the hearts of
2:26
the people By evening the town glowed
2:29
with more color than ever before Some
2:32
said it even shimmerred with kindness
2:34
and joy The mayor gave Laya the first
2:36
ever brush of bravery award It was made
2:38
of glitter and gratitude And from that
2:41
day on Kaleidavville held an annual
2:44
color day where kids led the grown-ups
2:47
in painting murals dancing in rainbow
2:49
puddles and reminding everyone that even
2:52
when the world feels gray one brave
2:54
heart and a little creativity can paint
2:57
it bright again Moral of the story even
3:00
when the world loses its sparkle one
3:02
brave person with imagination can bring
3:04
the color back for everyone The end
