On an extraordinarily beautiful, warm, and rainbow-filled planet lived Kind Animals in goodness and happiness. Every day they enjoyed the sunshine, admired the bright blue sky, and swam in 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 Kind Animals happily zoomed down hills on sleighs.
Every day for the inhabitants of this wonderful planet was like a fairy tale. The Kind Animals lived and rejoiced, not suspecting that one fine day evil, cunning, and greedy Filthy Villains would invade their territory.
With the appearance of these villains, the beautiful planet turned into a real territory of evil and hatred. The new inhabitants constantly committed their dark deeds. Every day terrible incidents happened on the streets, people began to quarrel and fight with each other. In friendly 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 appearance of the Filthy Villains, the Sun began to appear in the sky less and less frequently. Bright beautiful flowers began to wither, and nature became completely dull, without colours and aromas.
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 inhabitants that their evil deeds and schemes were heard by the Virus, which had been sleeping all this time and gathering strength.
How long I have waited for the moment when my finest hour arrives and I destroy this joyful and bright planet!
The Virus rejoiced.
He opened a secret cache, took out a golden crown from it, and placed it on his evil head. Now he became king and could do whatever he wished with the planet.
The Virus was so terrible that those Kind Inhabitants whom he only touched immediately became 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 inhabitants 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 grew cold outside, and frost suddenly swept onto the planet.
It would seem like the perfect time to decorate the tree, walk in the snow, buy gifts, and visit each other.
But even Father Frost did not dare to 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 Kind Animals sat in their homes, afraid to go out on the street.
And suddenly one of them could not bear it and decided to return the former beauty to the planet. He gathered all the Kind Animals near their windows and climbed the highest mountain.
From there he could be seen and heard by absolutely all the inhabitants 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 cannot do anything to us if we stick together! And in order for this villain not to harm us, I propose we wear protective masks, constantly wash our hands, and use antiseptic products. This Virus definitely cannot withstand cleanliness and beauty!
All the inhabitants of the planet supported the proposal and began to go out on 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 Kind Animals stopped being afraid. They stocked up on masks, constantly washed their hands, and used antiseptic products.
Even the Filthy Villains 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 seize the territory.
He went out on the street and decided to touch everyone who passed by. And here come the Kind Animals.
Now I will infect you!
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 Kind ones, but the protective mask reliably protected them from the Virus.
Days passed, and the Virus withered more and more with each day. After all, he could no longer feed on the health of the planet's inhabitants, and he felt worse and worse.
There was not 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 Kind Animals, to the sound of the clock chimes, made the same wish—that in the New Year their planet would become even cleaner, even more beautiful, and even more 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 happened during the reign of the crowned Virus.
And on the first day of the New Year, all the inhabitants of the planet learned that the Virus had disappeared without a trace. Looking out the windows, everyone saw that the sun was shining on the street again, people became happy and healthy, and nature once again delights with its bright colours.
What a miracle the inhabitants of the planet created! May miracles happen in your homes too!
