Story Details

In Frostbite town, so cold and gray, A painter worked, day after day.

A sunny beach, a happy sight, On north wall grand, with colors bright.

The paint dried fast, the mural done, Then heaters rested, one by one.

No icy shivers, no cold blast, Such warmth from paint, it truly cast.

First little Timmy, with a hop, Felt warm air rise, right from the top.

"The sun on paint, it feels so real!" He shouted out, "A summer's feel!"

Then Grandma Flo, with shawl so neat, Felt summer sand beneath her feet.

"This painted warmth, it chases gloom!" She danced a jig around the room.

Old Farmer Giles, with frosty beard, No longer shivered, no longer feared.

He said, "This art, it warms the soul, And saves our coins, it makes us whole!"

More warmth it shared, a gentle hum, A painted sun, where heat would come.

From colors bright, a happy gleam, A cozy, painted, summer dream.
