Eli, a curious and imaginative boy with messy hair and sparkling eyes, sits at his desk, sketchbook open and tongue poking out as he concentrates. He draws a picture of a giant rainbow over his school, filling the page with bold colors. Finishing, he holds it up, grinning wide.
"I wonder what will happen tomorrow," he whispers to himself, remembering how his pictures always come true the next day.
Eli beams with pride, watching his friends marvel at the rainbow. He feels a flutter of excitement in his chest, knowing his art has brought happiness. A classmate, Maya, approaches, eyes wide with amazement.
"Did you see the rainbow, Eli? It’s just like your picture!"
"Maybe I have a magic pencil," he replies with a mysterious wink.
Thunder rumbles in the distance as Eli realizes what he’s done. His heart pounds with worry as he glances at the clock, knowing whatever he draws comes true the next day. He clutches the drawing, wishing he could erase it.
"Oh no… what if everyone gets hurt?" he breathes, eyes wide with fear.
He grabs his sketchbook and, by the soft glow of his nightlight, begins to draw a new picture. In it, the playground is clean and dry, children are jumping over puddles safely, and there’s a sign that says “Caution: Slippery!” in big, bold letters.
"Maybe I can fix it before morning," he whispers, hope flickering in his chest.
Maya waves at Eli, her boots splashing safely.
"Good thing someone put up that sign!"
"Yeah," Eli replies, a smile of relief on his face. He realizes he can use his creativity not just for fun, but to help others, too.

Eli feels proud and powerful, knowing his imagination can shape the world in wonderful ways. He carefully starts a new drawing—this time of a garden blooming with every color, butterflies dancing above.
"Tomorrow will be even more beautiful," he says, eyes shining with hope.
