The magic pencil once upon a time there
was a small town called cloudy and in
cloudy there lived a brilliant artist by
the name of Albert Albert was so good at
his work that many times people mistook
his paintings for real objects he
painted portraits of rich people in his
town and earned well he would carry his
canvas everywhere and randomly choose a
place and start sketching he was a
brilliant sketcher he would sketch
sunsets fruits and human portraits and
make them all look very real but since
it was a small town there were only so
many paintings he could make over the
time he began to struggle to find work
the river where Albert usually went to
paint the sunset stood a beautiful tree
Albert loved that tree he had painted
that very tree on his canvas so many
times and yet he never got bored of it
he talked to the tree as if it were
humans oh come on
tree ruffle your leaves a little
you know sometimes it feels like you can
hear me but Albert didn't know that
there was someone on the tree who did
hear him and loved his drawings it was
pickle the pixie that tree was home to
pickle she was very shy and loved the
green dense leaves that kept her cool
and safe I do wish you could hear me
through and help me out you know there
is no work in this town now I can leave
and go to another town but this is where
my home is I can't leave this place but
I guess I will have to do that now all I
know is how to paint and if there aren't
enough buyers for my paintings here then
I think I will have to shift to another
town after Albert left pickle looked sad
oh I don't want him to go I loved his
paintings man how could I make more
people buy his paintings hmm that's not
the real problem the real problem is
that he will not be able to earn I can't
force more people to buy his paintings
but I can't help him have what he wants
after thinking for a while
pickle rushed to her tree Hollow and
began to work she worked the whole night
and the next day pickle was ready with
her creation
it was a very shiny and beautifully
carved pencil ah
this will help Albert
that afternoon when Albert as usual went
to paint his favorite tree there on a
rock
he saw the pencil wow it's so shiny it's
the most beautiful pencil I have seen in
my whole life I wonder whose it is
maybe I should not pick it up the real
owner will come looking for it Albert
left without painting the tree that day
he was very restless to leave the pencil
behind but he didn't want to pick up
something that may belong to someone
else
the next day Albert went to his tree
sooner than usual he was secretly hoping
to see that pencil on the rock and there
it was oh it's still here umm maybe it
doesn't belong to anyone I have heard
stories about this forest
maybe they are real maybe there is magic
in here Albert picked up the pencil and
examined it he then took out his paper
and began to draw a beautiful leaf this
pencil is amazing my drawings have never
looked so beautiful wait what's
happening the leaf was coming to life
and in no time there was a real leaf
sitting on the paper oh how is this
possible
Albert carefully picked up the leaf and
kept it aside to test it once more he
began to draw an apple as soon as he was
done sketching it
life oh no this is a magic pencil I can
draw anything I need
Albert's happiness knew no bounds he
jumped with joy and ran home pickle saw
Albert leave and was happy to help her
talented friend she knew she had done
the right thing she trusted Albert to
use the pencil wisely as Albert went
home he put up his canvas and was
excited to draw anything and everything
he needs firstly he drew delicious
dishes of food but in his haste rather
than drawing a proper mango he drew a
circle but nothing happened he rubbed it
off and tried to draw again but he was
so excited that once again he was only
able to draw a rough oval outline and
yet again nothing became of it finally
calming his nerves
Albert began to sketch again this time
he was patient and he used his skill to
draw a mango immediately a mango
appeared so this pencil will give me
only those things that I carefully and
perfectly sketch on the canvas hmm what
Albert didn't know is that the pencil
was especially made for him
him alone nobody in the whole town could
sketch as perfect as Albert could pickle
knew this so she made the pencil in a
way that nobody could steal it from
Albert and misuse it she also wanted
Albert to always stay calm when he used
the pencil she knew how important it was
to never lose our cool in any situation
once Albert understood how to use the
pencil there was nothing stopping him
he threw everything he had always dreamt
of delicious food crops dresses antiques
for his house he used his paints to
color his sketches and drew fresh
flowers every day
Albert was very happy and was leading a
very comfortable life but soon enough it
got too comfortable well know what I
have everything I want what else can I
do with this pencil hmm why don't I help
my people here I can draw anything they
need as decided Albert went to all his
close friends in the town and explained
them everything nobody believed Albert
at first oh come on you have too much
free time on your hands
hey it's correct you have also started a
story telling now this is not a story
wait I will show you
Albert knew that his friend needed a
tractor to work better in the fields but
due to lack of money he wasn't able to
buy one
Albert quickly took out his paper and
carefully drew a tractor
okay now everybody step aside within no
time there was a real tractor standing
in front of them everybody cheered for
Albert after that day on Albert helped a
lot of his people he shared his gift
with everybody with no hesitation people
in cloudy were generous and hard-working
nobody ever asked for anything they
didn't need days passed and a tourist
came visiting the town as he walked
around he realized that something about
cloudy was strange although it was a
small town people seemed to be living a
better life he decided to inquire he
asked around and the innocent people of
cloudy
they told him all magic pencil means
this for real I have to go see this
painter the tourist was a greedy man he
hid behind a tree and as soon as he saw
Albert he abducted him huh who is it
quiet listen to me I don't have all day
for this all right quickly draw me many
differents inexpensive rubies and a sack
to take them in now Albert took his
pencil out and began to draw but he was
so scared that all he could draw were
rocks what of these how dare you joke
around move I will draw myself the
shiniest gold chain
the tourist was not an artist in fact he
was terrible at drawing when he tried to
draw a gold chain a long and shiny snake
appeared her help
but while the tourist was trying to run
away from the snake Albert combin felt
down and drew a big cage as soon as the
cage of the tourists went inside and
Albert's shut its door after the snake
was gone
Albert called the police and complained
against the tourists he explained how he
was abducted and made to use the magic
pencil to satisfy the tourists greed
peace was restored in cloudy
everybody was proud of how well Albert
handled the situation Albert himself had
learned a very important lesson he
realized how dangerous it can be to have
things without having to work for them
he decided to bury the pencil under the
very rock he had found it it's believed
that the magic pencil is still buried
near Albert's favorite tree a tree with
the little pixie living on it
