Read the story Easy English

Lisa wakes up in the morning feeling happy and opens her eyes to see the yellow sun in the sky, learning that yellow is bright and feels warm. She looks around her room and sees that her bed and pillow are white, which feels clean. Looking out the window, she sees the blue sky and white clouds, learning that blue feels calm and quiet.

Lisa goes outside to see green trees, feeling that green is fresh and alive as she touches a soft leaf. On the ground, she sees a bright red flower and learns that red means energy and strength. As she walks further, she sees an orange, laughing softly as she discovers orange can be both a color and a fruit that feels fun, and then sees a yellow banana.

Sitting down to rest, Lisa notices brown on the ground and on tree trunks, feeling that brown feels safe and warm. A small black and white cat walks by, showing her that black is dark, white is light, and colors can be together. In the afternoon, Lisa thinks about the colors helping her see and feel the world, and at night, she puts on her sweet pink pajamas, lying in bed peacefully as she breathes slowly and falls asleep.
