Crayon Emotions and Usage

Red crayon feels overworked, while Purple and Beige crayons feel underappreciated. Gray and White crayons discuss their challenges, and Black and Green crayons talk about their roles. Yellow and Orange crayons argue over which is the true color of the sun. Blue crayon feels overused, Pink crayon feels neglected, and Peach crayon is embarrassed about being unwrapped. Duncan listens to their concerns and finds a creative solution, earning praise from his teacher.
