The Magic Paintbrush

Luna loved to paint, but her family was too poor to afford proper art supplies. She usually painted with old brushes and scraps of paper she found. One day, a traveling merchant gave her a beautiful golden paintbrush as a gift.

"This brush is special," the merchant whispered. "Use it wisely."

That night, Luna painted a bowl of fruit for her hungry family. To her amazement, the painted fruit became real! She could hardly believe her eyes.

Luna used the magic paintbrush to paint food for her family, clothes for the cold winter, and medicine for the sick people in her village. But she never painted gold or jewels for herself, only things that would help others.

When a greedy king heard about the magic paintbrush, he demanded Luna paint him mountains of gold. Luna refused and instead painted a boat to sail far away. The king was left with nothing but his greed, while Luna continued to use her gift to bring joy and help to those in need wherever she went.
