The Sky Painter

The sky was once a blank canvas, waiting for someone to paint it. The gods were busy creating the earth, the sea, the animals and the plants, but they had no time to paint the sky. The sky left it white and empty.

A young girl named Indigo lived on the earth. She loved to paint and draw, using the colors of nature as her inspiration. She painted flowers, birds, mountains and rivers, stars and moons. She was happy and creative, but she felt that something was missing.

She looked up at the sky and saw that it was plain and boring. She wished that she could paint it with colors and make it beautiful. She asked the gods to let her paint the sky, but they did not answer.

She decided to take matters into her own hands. She gathered all her paints and brushes and climbed up a tall mountain. She reached the top and saw that the sky was closer than before. She felt a surge of excitement and hope.

She dipped her brush in blue paint, which was her favorite color, and started to paint the sky. She painted it with strokes of light and dark blue, creating shades and contrasts. She painted it with swirls and curves, creating shapes and patterns. She painted it with dots and splashes, creating sparks and glitter.

She painted until she ran out of paint. She looked at her work and smiled. She had painted the sky blue, making it lively and lovely.

The gods saw what she had done and were amazed. They liked her painting and praised her for her skill and courage. They decided to reward her by letting her keep the sky as her masterpiece.

They also gave her a gift: a necklace made of blue gems that matched the color of the sky. They told her that whenever she wore the necklace, she would be able to see the sky as she had painted it.

Indigo thanked the gods and put on the necklace. She looked at the sky and saw that it was blue and beautiful. She felt happy and proud.
