On an extraordinarily beautiful, warm and rainbow-coloured planet, Good Animals lived in peace and happiness. Every day they enjoyed the sunshine, admired the bright blue sky, and swam in crystal-clear rivers and lakes.
The nature on this planet was strikingly beautiful. Mighty mountains protected it from hurricanes, in summer colourful flowers dazzled the eye, and in winter white snow crunched softly underfoot, and the Good Animals happily sledded down the hills.
Every day for the residents of this wonderful planet was like a fairy tale. The Good Animals lived and rejoiced, not suspecting that one fine day evil, cunning and greedy Mucky Meanies would invade their territory.
With the arrival of these villains, the beautiful planet turned into a real territory of evil and hatred. The new residents constantly committed their dark deeds. Every day terrible incidents happened on the streets, people began to quarrel and fight with each other. In close-knit families, scandals broke out, relatives stopped communicating with each other, and instead of kind and joyful faces on the street, hatred and deception reigned.
With the arrival of the Mucky Meanies, the Sun began to appear in the sky less and less often. Bright beautiful flowers began to wilt, and nature became quite dull, without colours and fragrances.
Meanwhile, the villains continued to do mischief and destroy all the good that was on the planet. They tried so hard to harm the kind residents that their evil deeds and schemes were heard by the Virus, who had been sleeping all this time and gathering strength.
How long I have waited for the moment when my finest hour comes and I destroy this joyful and bright planet!
The Virus rejoiced.
He opened a secret compartment, took out a golden crown from it and put it on his evil head. Now he became king and could do whatever he wanted with the planet.
The Virus was so terrible that the Good Residents he touched immediately fell ill. He walked the streets from morning to night and infected everyone who crossed his path.
With each passing day, there were fewer and fewer residents on the streets. Everyone hid in their homes and were afraid to go out even for a moment.
The New Year holidays were approaching, it got cold outside, and frost suddenly swept across the planet.
It seemed like the perfect time to decorate the Christmas tree, walk in the snow, buy gifts and visit each other.
But even Father Frost didn't dare leave his ice palace, because the Virus could infect him and all those to whom the kind grandfather was supposed to put gifts under the tree.
Time passed, and the Good Animals sat in their homes, afraid to go out onto the street.
And suddenly one of them couldn't take it anymore and decided to restore the former beauty of the planet. He gathered all the Good Animals near their windows and climbed to the highest mountain.
From there he could be seen and heard by absolutely all the residents of the planet:
How much longer can we sit and fear this Virus?!
He shouted.
We live here and must protect ourselves and our homes! Stop hiding indoors, this Virus can't do anything to us if we stick together! And in order for this villain not to harm us, I suggest wearing protective masks, constantly washing our hands and using antiseptic products. This Virus definitely won't be able to handle cleanliness and beauty!
All the residents of the planet supported the proposal and began to go out onto the street again.
Now they were confident that they could defeat the Virus and return happiness, goodness and health to their homes. From that day on, life bustled on the streets again.
The Good Animals stopped being afraid. They stocked up on masks, constantly washed their hands and used antiseptic products.
Even the Mucky Meanies stopped going around dirty and decided to save the planet, because it had recently become their home too.
Seeing that life was bustling on the planet again, the Virus decided to infect everyone as quickly as possible and completely take over the territory.
He went out onto the street and decided to touch everyone who passed by. And there, coming towards him, were the Good Animals.
Now I'll infect you all!
The Virus rushed at one of the animals with hatred.
And suddenly he felt a strong smell of antiseptic. The Virus began to breathe loudly to penetrate the bodies of the Good Animals, but the protective mask reliably protected them from the Virus.
Days passed, and the Virus grew weaker with each passing day. After all, he could no longer feed on the health of the planet's residents, and things were getting worse and worse for him.
There wasn't much time left until the New Year, and everyone decided that in the next year the planet would become kind, clean and beautiful again.
Now hygiene rules became not only a way to protect against the crowned Virus, but also a habitual way of life.
New Year's night arrived, and the Good Animals, as the clock struck midnight, made the same wish—that in the New Year their planet would become even cleaner, even more beautiful and joyful.
The celebration was a great success, everyone had fun together with their loved ones, friends became loyal to each other again and forgave all the mischief that had happened during the reign of the crowned Virus.
And on the first day of the New Year, all the residents of the planet learned that the Virus had disappeared without a trace. Looking out of their windows, everyone saw that the sun was shining on the street again, people became happy and healthy, and nature again delights with its bright colours.
What a miracle the residents of the planet created! May miracles happen in your homes too!
