The little girl in blue dress buried her face in her tiny hands.
Tears rolled down her wrists.
“What’s wrong, my child?” A tall man with shoulder length grey hair and silvery matching long beard
compassionately asked.
The little girl composed herself, let her face reveal her innocence and looked
at him.
She was always amazed by his colourful magician- like cloak. She smiled. Then
revealed, “Oh, Godfather Rainbow! I
want to be independent, more useful or rather helpful.”
“ But Sky!” Godfather exclaimed, “You’re just a child of five. As you grow up,
naturally you’ll, shoulder the responsibilities meant for you. Why hurry, dear?”
“ Perfect Creation, My Dad is my favourite . He
attends all duties in all corners of Planet Earth. At, night with puffy
eyes he always bids me goodnight with blessings of immortal life.
It breaks my heart to see him exhausted all time. Everyone thinks he never gets
weary but I do see that daily.”
“Alright !” Godfather sighed. “I see, I
get it now. Let’s get to work if that’s what you wish. Since, like your
Dad I’m an artist too, I will help you.”
The little girl awaited enthusiastically.
“One by one , take these three sunny bristle brushes!” the old man ordered.
Little Sky picks up Flat Brush labelled
Infinity -A.
“Now , close your eyes , Child “Godfather requested “Imagine colours , then let
the brush do its work!”
She instantly obeyed. The brush paced from left to right, up and down and the
other way round.
“Now open your eyes! “Godfather ordered.
“Uniform blue ! Uniform blue ! Replica
of my dress!” Little Sky excitedly said.
“Well Done!” the old artist approved.
“Now, perform the same exercise with Brushes
Infinity -B and Infinity -C .”
“ Alright , Godfather , here I go!”
Infinity -B saddened the little girl with
homogeneous grey and infinity -C blurred clarity with charcoal black.
“Wonderful!” Godfather exclaimed satisfactorily. Then , he further added “ As
you may have noticed, blue is the dominant
colour when the sun is happy during daytime. Grey prevails when clouds
carry their burdens of sorrows and can’t
focus on sunny smiles. Black veils everything coming its way when everyone
feels sleepy at night except the stars, moon, bats and owls. There are also
other colours like pink of Dawn’s soft hugs and yellowish orange and unique red
of sunrise and sunsets’ hopeful solace. Glimpses of more colours reflect on my
own cloak as well. Thus, my dear girl, I’m gifting you this rainbow lorry
loaded with packets comprising of dozens of
One Wish -Accurate brushes. Each of them has microscopic-natural
clocks sealed amidst the bristles. Each
day, at the appropriate time, a particular brush will beep like an alarm warning to your
creative mind and will compel you to pick the brush, imagine the colour and
guide you to paint your planet
sustaining roof or shelter uniformly, and keep each creature
safe. This will be your endless life’s responsibility. Go on, Child, paint
the mysterious never-falling anchor accordingly.”
“Thank you, Godfather Rainbow!” said Little Sky spontaneously.
“God bless you, dear !” he whispers after kissing her forehead.
The little cheery girl ran from cloud to cloud that highlighted their
remarkable stainless whiteness. They winked at her in return and shortly tested her abilities of
maintaining the balanced gait as some clouds were well- chiselled ,strong;
others were randomly scattered, rather
feeble. Brave Little Sky won over them all.
“ Don’t be so harsh with her ! She’s only
a child!” Perfect Creation reminded them and thumbed-up to Godfather
Rainbow.
“Daddy!” Little Sky exclaimed joyfully rushing to his warm, affectionate fatherly embrace.
“Proud of you, my daughter!” he said supportively.
