The Colour of Hope
Once upon a time, in the small hamlet of Serenia, nestled in a secluded valley, lived the Hues - a family known for their multi-colored sheep. The Hues, however, were not cherished due to their livestock’s vibrant wool but for their profound connection with colours.
The ancestors of the Hues were said to possess a mystical palette that could add colours of emotions to anything they touched. Legend has it that every hue they painted evoked a particular emotion. The tradition followed through generations until it reached our protagonist - Robin, a young and passionate soul, who yearned to infuse the world with hope by applying the genuine colour of it - green.
Robin lived with his wise grandmother, Nana Hues, the elder of the village and the holder of family secrets. She knew about each colour's capacity to transform feelings - red radiated love, blue mirrored tranquility, yellow reflected joy, but no one in their lineage had ever discovered the colour of hope. So began Robin's quest.
Robin spent days and nights attempting various mixtures on his ancestral palette. But each green painted failed to evoke the sensation of hope. Doubt began to cloud his ambition, and he felt his purpose slipping away. One night, Nana discovered the despaired Robin and took him outside under the star-sprinkled sky.
'Robin, you’re pursuing the knowledge of colours wrongfully. You can't indeed ascertain the outcome of your combinations. The colours you seek do not exist on the palette but in the heart. You have to feel hope to paint its colour.' Nana counseled.
With a deep sense of understanding, Robin maneuvered towards his quest again, this time focusing not just on the colours but on his experiences. He started assisting villagers, helping in fields, fixing broken things, and sharing joyful stories, subtly spreading hope with his deeds.
One sunny afternoon, a stranger from an unknown dimension stepped into the village. He looked weary, his eyes reflecting despair. When Robin approached and asked the stranger about his gloom, he explained how famine had eroded his village’s life, leaving them without hope. His tale resonated with Robin, yearning to help him rediscover hope.
Robin took the stranger to the highest hill where his sheep grazed. He asked the stranger to look at the vibrant carpet of grass spread beneath, touched by dew, gleaming under the sun, teeming with life. 'What do you see?' Robin asked.
'I see life; I see a chance of revival. I see hope,' the stranger replied, his eyes gleaming for the first time. A spark ignited in Robin's heart - he had finally understood the color of hope.
Rush of realization coursing through his veins, Robin descended the hill. He picked up his mystical palette and began to mix colours as joy, peace, resilience, and life flowed from his heart, leading to birth of a unique shade of green. Once Robin had painted a piece of cloth with this hue, the entire village was overwhelmed with an unprecedented sensation of optimism and confidence.
Word of this magical event spread far and wide. The green colour of hope started healing the broken, motivating the lethargic, and making the impossible feel achievable. Robin had discovered the colour of hope, but more importantly, he had learned that true colours are a manifestation of inner feelings and experiences.
So, the Legend of Robin Hues spread across lands and times, reminding people that they could infuse hope into their lives if they've experienced and committed to it. His colour of hope continues to illuminate life and inspire folks even today every time they gaze at the vibrant green around them.
