NAME:
In a small town in the interior, there lived a girl named Isabela.
Isabela lived with her parents and her little brother. She loved to draw, she was always drawing.
Her city was very beautiful, it had a park full of trees, birds and a lake with many colorful fish. Isabela loved the nature around her.
The sky there was a blue so blue, but so blue, that contrasted with those clouds so white.
And the air? The air was so pure to breathe.
But as Isabela grew, her city also grew. But she had a problem; the city grew wildly, and so something horrible happened. Suddenly the trees were disappearing and in their places were appearing buildings, factories, stores and other things were appearing.
Then, Isa began to get very worried, because those colors she liked so much, the green of the trees, the blue of the sky, the red of the flowers, gradually disappeared. That's when she got the big idea; before all those colors ceased to exist, she started drawing and painting, wanting to never forget all that nature that once existed there.
She started at the park. She then made a beautiful drawing, with all those very green trees. It was great, because the other day, they destroyed the park to make a mall in the place.
So, she drew a picture of that blue sky, with those white clouds. It was just in time, because the other day a factory was inaugurated that was emitting terrible smoke and the city no longer saw that blue sky.
Then Isabela decided to draw the lake with the fish. And do you know that the other day they decided to dump the city's sewage into this lake? Even though it had a small river that connected this lake to the sea and that was where several little fish fled, including “Biu”, the manatee that lived there. Unfortunately, those who couldn't escape ended up dying.
The girl began to pay attention to the people who lived in the city and observed that they no longer had the joy they used to have, they were always worried, always in a hurry, and even a little gray. They didn't even have time to tell or listen to stories anymore, poor things...
Isabela knew that people were like that because they didn't have those colors in their lives anymore, that's when she had another great idea; so that people could remember how beautiful her city was, she enlarged and spread her drawings for all to see.
That day an extraordinary thing happened; people actually stopped to see the drawings, the factory stopped, the cars stopped, and everyone was super emotional remembering how happy they were living with all that nature around.
It happened then, that people realized that they had to do something to bring the colors back.
They decided that they would replant the trees, organize the factories so that they would not pollute the environment, solve the sewage problem in another way so that the little fish would come back. So they decided to take all the necessary steps so that nature was not so forgotten again.
All this was done and that city was smiling again.
Do you know the best?
Isabela, the girl who drew, became part of the history of that city, as they made a statue for her in the middle of the new square, full of trees and birds. Know what else?
Biu, the manatee, returned to the lake and brought his entire family.
