The Girl and the Rainbow Mouse

Lila lives in a cozy town where the sun always shines on her street. With curly dark-brown hair in two bouncy buns, freckles, and red sneakers, she treats every day as a new adventure. One sunny morning, while carrying a basket of ripe red apples into her backyard, she notices something tiny dart behind a flowerpot. She finds a little pale-gray mouse named Pip, no bigger than her palm, with a blue ribbon around its tail and long whiskers that glow in every color of the rainbow.

Pip loves to paint but is too small to paint big things, so Lila suggests they paint together. Starting on a sheet of paper and then moving to the long, plain wall at the back of the garden, the two new friends gather red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet paints and begin a mural for everyone to see. As neighbors stop to watch, one person frowns at the strange mouse with rainbow whiskers. Pip answers that being different is special, and Lila stands by her friend. This gentle tale by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK shows how friendship grows when differences are welcomed. Read it on Onlinemasal Com.Tr.
