There is a little town
In the middle of no where
That no one knew
Where it was.
The township wanted to attract more visitors
The town was dead and ailing
Businesses were crumbling
The inhabitants lifeless
The town council held a meeting
To think of ways and means
To increase visitors to the town
They thought of all ideas and plans
But they could not figure out how.
A little girl came up with an idea one day.
“Why not, we paint the town in rainbow colours, and call it Magic Town?”
The adults thought it was a splendid idea
So splendid, that everyone took part in painting the town
In different shades of colours
They even painted their houses in enthusiasm!
After painting their town, they waited for visitors to arrive.
They waited.
and waited.
But no one came.
The little girl closed the town in a box
And they did not see sunlight again.
