Lume paints the sunrise

When no one had woken up yet, Lume, the sun, opened one little eye.

The sky was gray and sleepy, very still. The flowers shut, the sea quiet, the village softly snoring.

«I'm going to say good morning», thought Lume. «But… how do I wake the world without scaring it?».

Then Lume had a lovely idea. He stretched out his rays as if they were paintbrushes.

And, slowly, he began to paint the sky: a pink stroke, an orange one, a golden one.

He painted soft clouds, little by little, so as not to wake anyone all at once.

And the world woke up gently, bathed in that lovely light.

The birds opened their eyes and sang tweet, tweet. A flower stretched its petals. A child peeked out the window and smiled.

«What a beautiful sunrise!», they all said at once.

Lume shone happily. With just a little bit of love, he had filled the sky with colors.

And so, every morning, before anyone else, Lume paints the sunrise to tell the world: «Good morning!».

Because a tiny gesture, made with love, can brighten everyone's day.
