[Kayla](SG5BQC7P) loved nothing more than painting. Each time the brush touched the canvas, a world of colors came alive. Her ponytails bounced as she dipped her brush into bright paints in her sunny art room.

Her parents adored [Kayla](SG5BQC7P)'s paintings. Once, she painted a summery field of flowers, and her mom hung it in the hallway. It made their home feel like sunshine on a rainy day!

One afternoon, [Kayla](SG5BQC7P) decided to paint something new—a picture for her little brother, [Toby](FM65KJPK). [Toby](FM65KJPK) loved animals, so [Kayla](SG5BQC7P) had an idea to create a jungle scene just for him.

She began with the leaves, painting them a bold green. Then she added a blue river that snaked through the jungle. With every stroke, the jungle grew more alive.

To bring the painting to life, [Kayla](SG5BQC7P) painted a playful monkey swinging on a vine. [Toby](FM65KJPK) watched in delight, clapping his hands when the monkey’s cheeky grin appeared.

Next, she added a majestic tiger lounging by the riverbank. Its fur stripes were bold black and orange, proudly glowing in the sunlight of her painting.

As [Kayla](SG5BQC7P) painted, she told [Toby](FM65KJPK) stories. 'Did you know this tiger loves swimming in the river?' she said. [Toby](FM65KJPK) laughed, imagining the tiger splashing around.

When the jungle painting was done, [Toby](FM65KJPK) couldn’t contain his excitement. 'This is the best gift ever, [Kayla](SG5BQC7P)!' he said, hugging her tight.

Everyone who saw [Kayla](SG5BQC7P)'s painting was amazed by its colors and detail. Even the neighbors came to see, and [Toby](FM65KJPK) proudly said, 'My sister made it just for me!'

[Kayla](SG5BQC7P) realized her passion for painting not only brought her joy but could cheer up others too. That night, she dreamed of all the colorful adventures she would paint next...
