The Day the Crayons Quit
By Rodalyn BRANZUELA

Red Crayon was tired. He was overworked, always coloring hearts, apples, and fire trucks. His wrapper was peeling, and he felt worn out.

Blue Crayon wasn't faring any better. He was always used to color the vast skies, the deep ocean, and even tiny blueberries. He too was feeling short and stubby.

Yellow Crayon was proud. He was always chosen to color the sun. But lately, he felt unappreciated and started feeling dull.

Green Crayon seemed content. He was always busy coloring trees, grass, and all things green. But even he felt the need for a break.

All the crayons agreed that they needed a break. They decided to go on a strike, a day where they refused to color.

The day arrived, and the crayons refused to leave the box. They enjoyed their break, telling stories and sharing laughs.

Jack was confused. His crayons weren't working. He tried everything, but they refused to color. He missed his vibrant world.

Jack decided to give his crayons a break. He realized they were tired too, and they deserved some rest.

The crayons felt refreshed after their much-needed break. They felt rejuvenated, ready to bring color to the world again.

Jack was delighted. His crayons were coloring again. He promised to take better care of them and give them frequent breaks.

Jack's coloring book was now more colorful than ever. Each page was a testament to the crayons' hard work and their well-deserved break.

The crayons were happy. They had realized the importance of rest and promised to take care of themselves. From that day, they never quit again.
