Once upon a time, there was a magical world where all the colors had personalities. One day, Pink, White and Gold decided to have a picnic in the meadow. But, on their way, they met Black who was feeling sad because no one wanted to play with him. So, Pink had an idea to invite all the colors to join their picnic.

When they reached the meadow, they found Yellow, Green, Purple and Blue already there. They were having a great time playing games and enjoying the sunshine. Pink explained the situation to them and they all agreed to include Black in the fun.

Black was overjoyed and started playing with the others. But then, Gray came along and wanted to join in too. However, he was feeling shy and didn't know how to approach the group. So, White came up with a plan and suggested that Gray show off his skills at hiding.

Everyone took turns finding Gray and when it was Black's turn, he couldn't find him anywhere. Suddenly, Gray jumped out from behind a tree and yelled "Surprise!" The group erupted in laughter and Gray finally felt included and happy.

From that day on, all the colors played together happily and never excluded anyone again.

4. Why was it important for all the colors to play together?
5. What can we learn from the story about inclusion and friendship?
