Once upon a time in a world of black and white, there lived a little girl named Lily. She had a magic paintbrush that could bring color to everything it touched. With a flick and a swish, she painted a rainbow in the sky, turning the dark clouds into puffy, colorful shapes.
One day, as Lily skipped through the meadow, she saw a sad little zebra who had lost his stripes. With a giggle and a dash, she painted colorful stripes on the zebra, turning him into the happiest zebra in the land, because he could now stand out in the herd.
But then, as Lily was painting a beautiful sunflower, she accidentally used the wrong colors, and the petals turned a dark, gloomy black. The sunflower drooped its head and looked very, very sad.
Lily tried to fix it, but the more she painted, the darker it became. Finally, she realized that sometimes mistakes happen, and it's okay because they can always be fixed.
So, with a twirl and a whiz, she tried different colors, and soon the sunflower was once again bright and yellow, standing tall and proud.
The land was filled with laughter and joy because Lily's magic paintbrush had brought color to the world, and even mistakes turned into something beautiful.
And as the stars twinkled in the night sky, Lily whispered a goodnight to the world, knowing that every color brought its own special magic, just like her paintbrush.
