Once upon a time, in a small Ukrainian village, there was a fair taking place in the market. The wind was blowing brightly, making the colorful pysanky eggs dance and twirl. Suddenly, one of the eggs started to hatch! Out popped a tiny music box that began playing a cheerful tune. The villagers were amazed and gathered around to see what was happening. The music box led them on a wild dance through the market, until they reached the end of the fair. They opened the music box and found a kistka inside, with a note that read "Use me to make beautiful pysanky eggs, just like this music box." And so, the villagers learned to create their own pysanky eggs and filled their village with even more color and music.
