When little Violet got up that morning, she saw with terror that her room had run out of colors.
- What happened? - the girl asked herself, checking with relief that her hair was still red like fire and that her pajamas were still green squares.
A story about what can be achieved with a smile
Violet looked out the window and watched in horror that not only her room, toda the whole city had turned gray and ugly! Ready to know what had happened, Violeta, dressed in a thousand colors, went to the street. Shortly after leaving his house he found a dark old man as the night pulling out a dog so white that it was confused with nothingness. He decided to ask if he knew anything about why the colors had left the city.
-Well, it's clear. People are sad and in a sad world there is no place for colors.
And he left with his darkness and his sadness. Soon, he found a gray woman dragging a smudged cart and decided to ask about the sadness of the world.
-Well, it's clear.
People are sad because we have run out of colors. -But if it is the colors that have left because of the sadness of the world ...
The woman shrugged her shoulders with a face that did not understand anything and kept walking. At that moment, a discolored squirrel passed by.
-Arrow, do you know where the colors are? Some say they have left because the world is sad, but there are others who say that it is the world that has become sad because of the absence of colors.
The discolored squirrel stopped eating its whitish chestnut, looked curiously at Violet and exclaimed:
-
Without colors there is no joy and without joy there are no colors. Seek joy and you will find colors. Find the colors and you will find joy. Violeta was thoughtful for a moment. What an extraordinary thing that smart, faded squirrel had just said!The girl, more and more determined to recover the joy and colors, decided to visit her grandfather Filomeno. Grandfather Filomeno was an amateur painter and also the happiest person Violeta had ever met. Like her, Grandpa Filomeno had the hair of his beard red as fire and a smile as big and pink as a slice of watermelon. Surely he knew how to fix that mess!
-Well, it's clear, Violeta: We have to paint joy with our colors.
-But that, how is it done?
-Very easy, Violeta. Think of something that makes you happy ...
-Play the ball in a field of sunflowers.
-Perfect, well let's do it ...
Violeta and grandfather Filomeno painted on the gray walls of the school a beautiful field of sunflowers
. A colorless policeman who passed by wanted to call their attention, but the grandfather Filomeno with his watermelon smile asked cheerfully:
- Mr. Police, tell us something that makes you happy ...- Happy? A comfortable sofa next to a fireplace where you can read a good crime novel. Fue And that was how Violeta, the grandfather Filomeno and that colorless policeman started to paint a huge fireplace with a picture armchair. At that time a woman very stretched and without a hint of color approached them with the face of bad fleas, but the grandfather Filomeno with his smile of watermelon asked happily:
-Unless lady, tell us something that makes you very happy ...
-Happy? In these gray times? Let me think ... a pastry full of chocolate fritters.
Little by little,
all the inhabitants of the city joined that group and filled the city with murals full of wonderful things,
that all of them made them very happy. When they finished, the entire city had filled with colors. They all smiled joyfully at those walls full of bright oranges, deep blue seas and green. They were happy again and again filled with colors.
Once the adventure was over, Grandpa Filomeno accompanied Violeta to her house. But when they were about to say goodbye, Violeta had a very big question: "Grandfather, what if the colors go away one day?" "If they leave, we'll have to smile again. Only then will we get them back ... And with his watermelon smile, Grandpa Filomeno turned around and continued on his way home.
