On an extraordinarily beautiful, warm, and rainbow-filled planet lived Good Animals 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 colorful 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 inhabitants 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 Dirty 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, loved ones stopped communicating with each other, and instead of kind and joyful faces on the streets, hatred and deception reigned.
With the appearance of the Dirty Villains, the Sun began to appear in the sky less and less. Bright beautiful flowers began to wither, and nature became completely dull, without colors 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 good inhabitants 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 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 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 any Good Inhabitants he touched immediately became sick. He walked the streets from morning to night, infecting everyone who crossed his path.
With each passing day, there were fewer and fewer inhabitants on the streets. Everyone hid in their homes and was afraid to go out even for a moment.
The New Year holidays were approaching, it got cold outside, and frost suddenly swept onto 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 Grandfather 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 Good Animals sat in their homes, afraid to go outside.
And suddenly one of them could not bear it and decided to return the former beauty to the planet. He gathered all the Good 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 long 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 harm us if we stick together! And in order for this villain not to harm us, I propose wearing protective masks, constantly washing our hands, and using antiseptic products. This Virus definitely cannot withstand cleanliness and beauty!
All the inhabitants of the planet supported the proposal and began to go outside 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 Dirty Villains stopped going around dirty and decided to save the planet, because recently it had 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 outside and decided to touch everyone who passed by. And suddenly, Good Animals were walking towards him.
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 Good Animals, 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 Good Animals made the same wish as the clock struck midnight—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 had 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 their windows, everyone saw that the sun was shining on the streets again, people became happy and healthy, and nature again delights with its bright colors.
What a miracle the inhabitants of the planet created! May miracles happen in your homes too!
