3. Pisca and the Golden Paintbrush Part 2 Zinzy is a magical bunny with a horn that paints the leaves different colors with a magical golden paintbrush. Every night Zinzy leaves the paintbrush under a bush so no one will find it. One day a girl named Pisca finds the paintbrush when painting a picture of the tree that Zinzy painted the day before. As soon as Pisca finds the paintbrush she runs all around the forest looking for something to paint, when she comes across a clutter of trees that she knows have not been painted. Before she could dip the paintbrush into the paint, Pisca’s father, Samuel came running up yelling! He didn’t want Pisca to paint all her life, especially when he had been looking all over for her. As soon as Samuel grabbed Pisca’s hand, she dropped the paintbrush! Pisca didn’t know what was going to happen. Noon came and Zinzy went to the forest to get her paintbrush. When she got to the forest she fainted. The paintbrush was not there! When she woke up Pisca was standing right above her. Zinzy screamed, she had never seen a creature like this before! When Zinzy saw the painting that Pisca painted she fainted again. Zinzy could never paint like that! By the time she woke up (again) it was night time, and she still hadn’t found her paintbrush. She looked all over the forest, and in the morning she had found it. The next noon had come and Pisca had come to the forest. She saw Zinzy hopping along painting the leaves. When Zinzy turned around she saw Pisca she hopped over to her. When Pisca saw her she said that she liked the colors of the leaves that Zinzy painted. Then Zinzy told Pisca she wanted to teach her how to paint the leaves. Of course Pisca accepted. That night Pisca told her father all about Zinzy. Guess what her father did…..he laughed! He told her that she must have been daydreaming. Then her father said she is not allowed to paint ever again. Well that set Pisca off. She ran out of the house yelling that she will never come back again. When she got to the forest she saw a glowing light. As she walked toward it, the light got brighter. It turned out that was only Zinzy hopping along with a lantern finding her way back to her burrow. The story continues in comic form. Read on to see what happens to Pisca and Zinzy.
