Lora and the Magic Paintbrush Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lora who loved to paint. She painted everything she could imagine—rainbows, butterflies, and castles. But Lora had one wish: she wanted her paintings to come to life. One sunny afternoon, Lora found an old paintbrush in her grandmother’s attic. The handle sparkled like gold, and when she touched it, a soft voice whispered, “I’m a magic paintbrush. Whatever you paint will come to life!” Lora’s eyes widened in excitement. “Really? Let’s try!” she said. She ran outside to an empty field and painted a big, beautiful tree. As soon as she finished the last stroke, the tree appeared in front of her, tall and full of ripe red apples. “It works!” Lora shouted, jumping with joy. She painted a pond, and sparkling water filled the field. Then she painted a swing under the tree, and it appeared, swaying gently in the breeze. Soon, all the children from the village came to see Lora’s magical creations. She painted flowers, animals, and even a small playhouse for everyone to enjoy. But one day, a little boy said, “Lora, can you paint me a pair of wings? I want to fly!” Lora thought for a moment. “It’s fun to paint magical things, but we should also appreciate what we have.” Instead of painting wings, Lora painted a giant kite. The boy held the kite’s string, and together they ran through the field, laughing as the kite soared high into the sky. From that day on, Lora used her magic paintbrush to bring joy to everyone, while teaching them to cherish the simple, beautiful things around them. The End.
