The Secret Behind the Gray Spell What if your wish for a "quiet world" actually came true? Benny is six years old, and he's having a very "wiggly, wobbly" day. He lost his race, he has no one to sit with at lunch, and he feels like a "tiny rock on a lonely hill." Before sleep, Benny makes a heartfelt wish: "I wish for a world where everyone's the same." But when he wakes up, the world is hushed, still, and... completely gray. The vibrant red parrots are now dull pigeons, the golden lion looks like a dusty teddy bear, and even the rainbows have quit Benny soon discovers that a world without color is a world without spark.
