Once upon a time, in a colorful kingdom, all the crayons were getting ready for the annual parade. Blue was excited to lead the parade as he was the color of the sky and sea. Yellow, the color of the sun, was going to twirl his cape and make everyone smile. White, the color of snow, was going to create a blizzard of confetti.

As the parade started, Orange, the color of pumpkins, tripped and fell, causing a chain reaction. Pink, the color of cotton candy, got tangled up with Red, the color of strawberries. Green, the color of leaves, tried to help but ended up turning everything brown, the color of tree trunks.

Black, the color of coal, was the only one left unscathed. He decided to take charge and fix the mess. He used his magic to turn everything back to its original form and the parade continued without a hitch.

Everyone cheered and clapped as they saw the beautiful colors marching by. And that’s how the crayons learned an important lesson: to always work together, no matter what color they were!
