Jack had a box of gems at home. They were shiny and colourful, and he loved to look at them. He asked his mum if he could paint them. Mum said yes, and Jack thought it was a great idea. He got some paint and chose his favourite colours. He painted the gems carefully, making sure to use all the colours he wanted.
When he was finished, he laid the gems out to admire them. He felt so proud of his work! All the gems were so bright and sparkly. Jack couldn't take his eyes off them.
Suddenly, Jack heard a loud "Caw!" He jumped up, alert. It was a parrot, and it was sitting on his windowsill. Jack's mum told him it was a pet. He couldn't believe it! He and the parrot spent the rest of the day playing and talking. Jack never knew gems and paint could create such a magical surprise.
