Ganesha thought and thought, scratching his elephant head with his tiny hand. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind. He remembered the wise words of Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, who had said, 'When in doubt, seek advice from others.'

Ganesha decided to visit Lord Brahma, the creator of the world. With a mischievous smile, Ganesha said, 'Dear Brahma, I need your help in creating a fantastic new world. What should I do first?'

Brahma pondered for a moment and replied, 'Oh wise Ganesha, before you create anything, envision what the world should look like. Imagine the vibrant colors, the diverse landscapes, and the wonderful creatures that will inhabit it.'
