Glimmer Puff drifted above Rainbow Valley, eager for fun. The ghost sparkled in the sunny sky and could hardly wait for the big parade.
Ember Flare strolled along the winding road, humming a tune. The dragon flicked a playful tail, dreaming about the day to come.
A drooping parade balloon rested by the fountain. Its colors were gone, leaving it dull and gray.
Glimmer Puff noticed the sad balloon and gasped. “We must fix this for the parade!” the ghost exclaimed, swirling with worry.
Ember Flare spotted more dull balloons stacked by the stage. “They need color!” the dragon said, pacing back and forth. “I will help!”
A row of paint buckets glowed with bright labels, but each was empty. Only a few lonely drops remained inside.
Far above the village, Glimmer Puff twirled and whispered, “Sometimes, picturing a problem differently helps. Let’s imagine each color’s special glow!”
Ember Flare recalled the warmth of red, like a cozy hug. “When I think of red, I feel brave,” the dragon said, breathing a tiny spark.
