❤️ Story 1: Red’s Tired Day
Red Crayon was exhausted.

Fire trucks, apples, hearts, cherries — day after day, holiday after holiday, weekend after weekend.

So one morning, Red rolled dramatically out of the crayon box and declared:

“I’m TIRED! I need a break!”

He zipped into a tiny hammock made from a sock and refused to color.
Soon the drawings looked all wrong: pink apples, green hearts, even a yellow fire truck.

Finally, the young artist promised:

“Okay, Red. From now on, you get a rest day every week.”

Red stretched, gave a content little squeak, and grinned.

“Now that’s more like it.”
