Nayu's thoughts
This
is a charming read which made me think that it can be applied to
other areas of life. When people remove something there is a consequence for
those who depended on the place/object. The lack of colour brings
misery and makes Zot feel guilty, a feeling which happens whenever
someone does something wrong, something all readers will be able to
understand on varying levels. It helps show that by sharing things,
and taking caring of them, everyone's happiness is assured. The lack
of colour did make the pictures not as interesting, making the first
glimpse of colour seem extremely bright and welcome. A lot can be
read into this touching tale.
