Once upon a time, there was a magical land where everything was rainbow-colored. The king of this land was worried that the colors were becoming too boring and decided to mix them up to create new colors. So he asked his seven trusty assistants, Purple, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Orange, Red, and Green to help him out. Each day, they would mix two colors together and try to come up with a new one.

One day, Purple and Blue mixed together to form a beautiful shade of indigo. Yellow and Pink created a soft peach color. Orange and Red made a rich burgundy hue. But when Green mixed with all the other colors, he turned into a grumpy monster! All the colors were scared of him and didn't know what to do.

Just then, a wise old owl flew by and suggested that they try mixing Green with each color again, but this time with a big smile and a positive attitude. And so they did! When they mixed Green with Purple, they created a fun lavender color. When they mixed Green with Blue, they made a cheerful turquoise shade. Yellow and Green made a lively lime green. Pink and Green combined to form a playful pistachio. And finally, when Orange and Green mixed, they created a radiant tangerine color.

The grumpy monster transformed back into Green and apologized for his behavior. From then on, the colors learned that a positive attitude can make all the difference in creating something new and beautiful.

The end.
