The chameleon's colors
This marvelous story is about a magical animal that change the color of his
body whenever he decided. His friends, the animals of the savannah,
discovered his secret and wanted to be like him.
Chameleon prepared paint with fruits, flowers and vegetables. He painted
them as they wish.
At first, animals looked happy and colorful, but a few days later this situation
caused them problems. For example, when Lion was hungry, he couldn't
eat delicious zebras, he didn't find them because chameleon covered with
paint their natural color.
All the animals realized that being painted was a bad idea. They
demanded chameleon to return them their natural color, but he didn't
know how to do it, he felt upset.
Suddenly it started to rain, the drops of water disappeared the paint of their
bodies and solved Chamaleon's problem.
