Here's a story:

Once upon a time, there was a Pink Elephant named Pippi who lived in the jungle. Pippi loved to paint and one day she found a box of paints with all the colors - Orange, Black, Gray, White, Yellow, Purple, Blue, Brown, Gold, and Green.
Pippi got so excited that she started to paint everything in sight! She painted the trees, the flowers, the birds, and even her friends. But she soon realized that she had used all the paint and there was none left for herself.
Feeling sad and left out, Pippi went on a journey to find more paint. On her journey, she met a wise old owl who told her that true beauty comes from within and that she didn't need paint to be special.
Pippi finally understood and from that day on, she embraced her natural pink color and spread joy and happiness wherever she went. The end.
