Next, Penny painted a brave lion. The lion roared and leaped out of the painting, ready to explore the world with Penny.

Penny decided to paint a magical forest filled with talking animals. As she painted, the trees grew taller and the animals appeared one by one. They all wanted to be friends with Penny!

But Penny soon realized that her creations had hopes and dreams of their own. The dolphin wanted to swim with other dolphins, the lion wanted to be king of the jungle, and the animals in the magical forest wanted to find their families.

Penny spent days painting a magical portal that would take the animals in the forest back to their families. When they walked through the portal, tears of happiness filled their eyes.
