James and the Colors of Joy

James sat on his favorite swing in the park, his head down and shadows in his eyes. "Why does everything feel so gray?" he sighed to his friend Mia, who was playing nearby. Mia stopped and looked at him, brushing her long, curly brown hair aside. "Maybe you just need to find the colors again, James! Let's go on an adventure!" With a flicker of hope, James nodded, still feeling unsure but willing to try.

They walked through the park, where flowers bloomed in vibrant hues. Mia picked a bright yellow daffodil. "Here! This is the color of sunshine!" she exclaimed, placing it in his hands. James smiled, a small spark igniting inside him. As they continued, they splashed in puddles that glistened in the sunlight and climbed trees that stretched high, their leaves shimmering. By the end of the day, he felt lighter, his laughter ringing with every splash and climb, just like the happy colors all around them.
