Rangoli Colors Chaos
Maya: "Arjun, where are the rangoli colors? I kept them here in one neat line."
Arjun: "Uh… they were here. Now they’re kind of… everywhere."
Maya: "Everywhere? Arjun, the floor looks like Holi exploded!"
Arjun: "I was looking for the blue, then the red fell, then the yellow ran away."
Maya: "Colors don’t run away. You just dropped them and left them all over."
Amma: "What happened, you two? I almost slipped on this purple pile."
Maya: "Amma, the powders are all scattered on the floor. How will I finish the rangoli?"
Arjun: "They’re not scattered… they’re just… spreading."
Amma: "Spreading under my chappals, maybe. Arjun, help Maya gather them."
Arjun: "But the patterns will be spoiled. Maya will get angry."
Maya: "I’m already a little angry. But if you help, we can fix it."
Arjun: "Okay, I’ll hold the paper cones. You push the scattered colors into them."
Amma: "Good idea. Then you can still make your Diwali lamp design."
Maya: "Look, Arjun, once the scattered bits come together, they look bright again."
Arjun: "Yeah! They were lonely pieces. Now they’re a proper rangoli team."
Maya: "Next time, don’t leave everything scattered like confetti. Ask me before you open it."
Arjun: "Deal. And next time, can I scatter the marigold petals on the doorstep on purpose?"
Amma: "Yes, that kind of scattered will be beautiful."
