In a bright, cozy room, Mia found an old wooden box labeled 'Barattoli di Emozioni'.
Opening the box, she found five small, colored jars: red, blue, yellow, green, and purple.
Curious, Mia opened the red jar. Out burst feelings of anger, making her face feel hot.
She quickly closed it and tried the blue jar next. A wave of sadness washed over her.
Feeling blue, Mia opened the yellow jar, hoping for change. Joy bounced out, filling the room with laughter.
Next was the green jar. Mia felt a surge of calmness and peace as she took a deep breath.
Finally, she opened the purple jar. Wonder and imagination spilled out, surrounding her with creativity.
Mia realized these jars held emotions that everyone could feel. She wanted to share this knowledge.
Putting the jars back, she decided to draw pictures showing each emotion she had felt.
She drew herself with steam coming out of her ears for anger, and a big, tearful blue for sadness.
Her drawing of joy had bright sun and jumping, while calmness was a quiet pond with lilypads.
The picture for wonder showed her reaching for the stars, full of vibrant purple hues.
Mia shared her drawings with her friends. They talked about when they felt those emotions too.
Together, they learned to recognize and respect their own 'Barattoli di Emozioni'. The end.
