Moral of the Story: When we fill our hearts with the colors of the world, our lives will never be grey. Each of us has a unique way of sharing beauty with others.
The coop at Sunshine Farm had always been a place of strict rules. The hens woke up, pecked at yellow corn (*peck-peck-peck* on the dusty ground), and laid eggs. White eggs. Brown eggs. Period.
Mrs. Cluck, the oldest and bossiest hen, would puff out her chest: “Look! Mine is perfectly oval! A masterpiece as white as snow!” All the hens would clap. Except for Daisy.
Daisy was a dreamer. While the others looked at the ground for worms, Daisy looked at the sky. She admired the infinite blue. She spent hours staring at the purple flowers on the fence. She sighed while watching the orange sunset.
“Eat your corn, Daisy! Stop staring at nothing!” Mrs. Cluck would grumble. But Daisy couldn’t help it. The colors of the world entered through her eyes and filled her heart with a warm joy.
The Turquoise Surprise
One Tuesday morning, the coop went silent. An absolute silence. Not even a fly buzzed. Daisy stood up from her straw nest. There, in the middle of the golden hay, was no white egg. Instead, there was a turquoise-blue egg.
“The sky has fallen!” shouted one chicken. “It’s witchcraft!” cackled another. Daisy looked at the egg. It was the exact color of the sky she had loved so much the day before.
The next day, Daisy spent the afternoon looking at the green leaves in the garden. The result? An emerald-green egg appeared in her nest. On the following day, she was enchanted by the petals of a rose. The egg came out bright pink.
Feeding the Soul
The coop was in a tizzy. The other hens tried squinting their eyes to see if color would come out, but only white appeared. The farmer, Mr. Joe, walked into the coop scratching his head. When he saw Daisy’s basket, his tired eyes sparkled.
He picked up the blue egg with his rough, calloused hands, using a gentleness no one knew he had. “It’s… it’s beautiful,” Mr. Joe whispered.
He didn’t take Daisy’s eggs to the kitchen. He didn’t fry them. Instead, he placed them in a wicker basket by the living room window, so the sun could hit them and fill the house with magical colors.
Daisy smiled, ruffling her feathers. The other hens went on with their perfect white eggs for omelets, and that was fine. But Daisy realized her job wasn’t just to feed the farmer’s belly; it was to feed his soul with the beauty she gathered from the world. She discovered that when you fill your life with color from the inside, the result can never be grey.
