In a bright and bustling classroom, a young student discovers something amazing: a shiny, colorful box of crayons left on a desk. They're the brightest colors he's ever seen-gold, silver, neon pink, and more! His excitement grows as he imagines all the pictures he could draw. But soon, he learns that the crayons belong to a classmate who is heartbroken over losing them.
Now he has a choice to make.
Will he keep the crayons for himself, or return them and make things right?
