Early one morning, Pico the curious pigeon fluttered near a cheerful artist painting outside. The artist wished she could paint the whole morning sky with bright colors, but the big sky was just too big! Pico watched with bright eyes, wondering how he could help.
Suddenly, a gust of wind caught the artist's paintbrush and splattered colors everywhere! Oh no! she laughed, looking at the unexpected colorful spots floating up to the sky. Pico flapped his wings in surprise, blinking his large expressive eyes.
Pico had an idea! He fluttered high, catching the flying paint splashes on his feathers. As he flew, his colored feathers brushed against the morning sky. Look! the artist exclaimed, You're coloring the sky!
Pico zipped and zoomed, painting streaks of blue, lavender, pink, and orange across the sky with every flap of his wings. The artist followed below, mixing new colors on her palette, beaming with happiness.
But then Pico’s red ribbon caught a paintbrush from the artist's basket! He was now flying with more colors and tools than ever before. Oh dear, giggled the artist, You’ve made the sky a big swirling rainbow!
Pico and the artist faced a choice: should they try to tidy the sky back to normal or celebrate their colorful creation? Smiling, they decided the sky looked magical and special just as it was.
Together they laughed and danced beneath their painted sky, feeling proud of their teamwork. Pico flapped happily while the artist twirled, her palette full of brilliant colors still.
From that day on, Pico and the artist painted the mornings together, filling the skies with color and joy. Their friendship brought magic to every new dawn.
