00:00In the quiet village of Willowbrook, where the houses looked like giant mushrooms and vines
00:05curled lazily around every lamppost, lived a young mouse named Milo. Milo had soft gray fur,
00:13curious green eyes, and a patchy blue vest he wore proudly, even though it was a little too
00:19big for him. Milo loved exploring, and one evening as the sky blushed pink with sunset,
00:24he chased a group of sparkling fireflies deep into the woods. He darted between trees,
00:31across streams, until, thud, he tripped over something hidden beneath a tangle of ivy.
00:37Brushing away the leaves, Milo gasped. Before him stood an old wooden carriage. Its paint faded,
00:44but its windows glowing faintly with an inviting light. He pushed open the creaky door and peeked
00:51inside. The carriage was filled with shelves upon shelves of crayons. Not ordinary crayons,
00:58but ones that shimmered with a magic of their own. They floated gently in the air, humming softly like
01:04a lullaby. A worn parchment lay on a desk, with just four words written in golden ink.
01:10Draw with your heart. Milo's whiskers twitched with excitement. Carefully, he picked up a sky-blue
01:16crayon and drew a cookie on the dusty floorboard. In a flash, the cookie popped into reality. Warm,
01:22delicious, and twice his size. This is amazing! Milo squeaked. Soon, Milo was drawing everything he
01:29had ever dreamed of. Candy trees, a river of lemonade, fluffy balloon animals that floated
01:36through the woods. Laughing, he raced back to the village, crayons in paw, eager to show everyone.
01:43At first, the villagers cheered. Children giggled as they floated on candy clouds. Grandmothers danced
01:50under chocolate rain. Even the stern mayor mole wore a jelly bean crown. But soon, things started to go
01:57wrong. The candy trees melted into sticky puddles. The lemonade river flooded the bakery. Balloon animals
02:04got tangled in the power lines, causing sparks to fly. Milo, what have you done? cried Elder Willow,
02:12a wise old rabbit who had seen magic before. Milo's ears drooped. He hadn't meant to cause trouble.
02:19He just wanted everyone to be happy. Elder Willow placed a gentle paw on his shoulder.
02:24Magic is a powerful gift, little one, he said. But if you create only for yourself,
02:29you forget the needs of others. Milo thought hard. He realized he had drawn what he wanted.
02:36Sweets, toys, fun. Without thinking of how it would affect everyone else.
02:42The next morning, under Elder Willow's guidance, Milo gathered the villagers and asked them what
02:48they needed most. The baker needed his shop repaired. The children wanted a real playground,
02:54not sticky candy ones. The farmers wished for stronger bridges to carry their harvest.
03:00One by one, Milo listened, and with careful strokes of the enchanted crayons,
03:06he created wonders. A beautiful arched bridge that glittered under the sun,
03:11gardens blooming with every color imaginable, and a playground filled with sparkling swings and
03:18towering slides that glowed gently at night. This time, the villagers cheered louder than ever
03:24not because of magic that served one, but magic that served all. From that day on,
03:30Milo became the dream drawer of Willowbrook. He didn't just draw what he wanted. He drew what
03:36the village needed to thrive and smile together. And every time he picked up a crayon, he remembered
03:42the golden words written on the parchment. Draw with your heart. Moral of story is that power used
03:49wisely brings happiness to all.
