Ece and the World of Colors

Ece was a girl who loved questions. One morning, she sat by her window and sighed happily. “The world is so big,” she whispered. “But what makes it look so special?” A little squirrel named Fındık twitched his nose from a branch outside. He knew the answer!

Fındık chattered excitedly. "It’s all about colors, Ece! Let’s start with the brightest one of all! Look up! Can you see the big, warm SUN shining above us? That is the color YELLOW!"

Ece tilted her head. "Oh, YELLOW is wonderful! What comes next?" Fındık scampered down to the pond. "Look, Ece! Up above the sun, stretching forever, is the beautiful clear SKY. That is the color BLUE."

"So many blues!" Ece gasped. Fındık nudged her toward a small patch of flowers. "And look here, Ece, the color of excitement and speed! The bright, ripe STRAWBERRIES hiding in the leaves. That juicy color is RED!"

Ece picked the strawberry carefully. "RED is delicious!" Fındık pointed all around them. "And what covers everything, giving life to the trees, the bushes, and the grass beneath our feet? That fresh color is GREEN!"

They walked past the garden gate. "This one is magical," promised Fındık. "Look at the LILAC flowers blooming high on the bush. It's a mix of cool and warm, deep and bright. That lovely color is PURPLE!"

"I love PURPLE!" Ece said, taking a slow, deep breath. Fındık hopped onto a bench where a little bag was waiting. "And look at your favorite sweet treat, Ece! The soft, fluffy COTTON CANDY! That gentle color is PINK."

Ece took a small bite of the candy. "Sweet PINK!" Fındık twitched his whiskers. "Now for a strong color, the base of everything. Look at the sturdy TREE TRUNK and the rich DIRT where we stand. That reliable color is BROWN."

"BROWN is strong," Ece agreed, dusting off her hands. Fındık scurried ahead, returning with a treat. "This color is joyful, like the sunset, and tastes sunny too! The plump CARROT you love. That zesty color is ORANGE!"

Ece munched happily on the carrot. "ORANGE tastes like sunshine!" Fındık looked serious for a moment. "And now for the color of nighttime shadows. Look at the dark shiny POCKET of your favorite backpack! That deep color is BLACK."

Fındık popped out of the backpack, dusted with dirt. "Finally, the cleanest color of all! Look at the fluffy SHEEP grazing in the far field, or the fresh SNOW we love to play in. That pure color is WHITE."

Ece jumped up, clapping her hands. "YELLOW sun, BLUE sky, RED berries, GREEN grass, PURPLE lilacs, PINK candy, BROWN dirt, ORANGE carrots, BLACK shadows, and pure WHITE sheep! Thank you, Fındık! The world isn’t just special—it’s a rainbow!"
