Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to play with her toys. One day, she noticed that all of her toy cars had different colors. She wanted them to look like a matching set, so she decided to paint them all the same color.

Lily went to the local art supply store to buy some paint, but she was confused by all the different colors on the shelves. She asked the store owner for help. The store owner explained to her that the colors could be arranged in a linear sequence based on their brightness, with the lower colors being darker and the higher colors being lighter.

Lily chose a light blue color and painted all of her toy cars with it. When she finished, she was so happy to see that they all matched! From then on, every time she played with her toy cars, she felt proud of her handiwork.

The end.
