On a rainy afternoon, Jasper was bored. He sighed, tapping his fingers on his desk. Suddenly, he heard a knock at his window. There, perched on the sill, was a tiny bird holding a paintbrush in its beak. The brush sparkled with colors he’d never seen before. Curious, Jasper opened the window. The bird dropped the paintbrush on his desk and flew away.
“This must be special,” Jasper whispered, feeling a tingle in his fingers as he touched it. He grabbed his sketchpad and began drawing a dog. The lines glowed, and before he knew it, the dog sprang off the paper, wagging its tail.
“Whoa!” Jasper’s eyes widened. “You’re real!”
The dog barked and ran around his room, knocking over books and scattering toys. Jasper laughed, chasing after it. But the magic didn’t stop there. He drew a butterfly, and it fluttered around his head. Then he drew a mountain of candy, which tumbled off the page, covering his floor in colorful sweets.
“This is amazing!” he shouted, tossing candy into the air.
But as more drawings came to life, his room turned into chaos. The dog chewed on his shoes, the butterfly tangled in his hair, and the candy made the floor sticky. Jasper’s excitement turned to panic. “Stop! I didn’t mean for this to happen!”
He tried to catch the butterfly but tripped over the dog. The paintbrush rolled under his bed. “Oh no!” he cried, crawling to reach it.
Finally, he grabbed the paintbrush and took a deep breath. “I drew this mess, so I can fix it.” He carefully drew an eraser. It jumped off the page, hopping toward the candy mountain. With a single swipe, the candy disappeared. It erased the butterfly and the dog too, who wagged its tail one last time before vanishing.
Jasper looked around. His room was back to normal. He sat on his bed, the magical paintbrush in his hand. He smiled, knowing he had a powerful tool—but also a big responsibility.
He heard the bird chirping outside his window again, as if saying goodbye. Jasper waved and placed the paintbrush safely in his drawer. “I’ll be more careful next time,” he whispered. “And maybe I’ll paint a garden tomorrow.”
