In a small village, there lived a young girl named Mia. She was kind-hearted, but life had handled her a unique challenge — she was color blind and couldn’t see the radiant colors that painted the world around her.
After losing her parents, Mia lost her smile and struggled to find joy in life.

Mia’s sorrowful eyes caught the attention of an old woman , who was rumored to possess magical powers. One day, the old woman approached Mia and gifted her a small, shining and magical crystal. “This crystal holds the magic of gratitude,” she said. “Every time you feel thankful, it will glow brighter.

Mia took the crystal cautiously. As days passed, she found it even more difficult to be grateful, for she felt that she was missing out on the beauty that others could see.
One evening, while sitting in a garden, Mia felt the warmth of the setting sun on her skin. A flicker of gratitude lit up the crystal. Mia’s heart warmed, and she realized that even though she couldn’t see colors, she could feel the beauty around her.
