    Maya loved her afternoons, where she would sit on her table and color her favorite pages. Today, she picked up a new coloring book.

    As she colored the pages, she noticed something strange. The characters she colored started moving and the landscape seemed to come alive.

    The characters explained to Maya about an evil sorcerer who was stealing colors from their world, making it dull and lifeless.

    Maya was not afraid. She decided to confront the evil sorcerer, asking him to stop stealing the colors from the book's world.

    The sorcerer laughed at Maya's request, challenging her to a contest of coloring. If she won, he would return all the stolen colors.
