In a peaceful small town in Germany, there lived a girl named Xiaoli. Xiaoli was a kind and imaginative child. Every day, she would play in every corner of the town, make friends with small animals, and also help the townspeople with small tasks within her ability. One day, Xiaoli found a bead with a strange glow under an ancient tree in the forest. The color of this bead was bright red, just like a ripe apple. Xiaoli picked up the bead curiously and found that it exuded a warm power in her hand.
Since then, Xiaoli always carried this red bead with her. She found that this bead seemed to have a special magic. Once, when she accidentally fell and got hurt, the red bead emitted a faint light, and the wound stopped hurting very quickly. Xiaoli thought to herself that this must be a magical bead. If she could find more such beads, she wondered what wonderful things would happen. So, Xiaoli began to search carefully in the forest. After several days of searching, she found a blue bead by a clear stream. The blue bead was as clear and mysterious as a deep lake.
As time passed, Xiaoli successively found a yellow bead, which was as bright as a golden sunflower; a green bead, just like the freshest leaves in the forest; an orange bead, resembling the sunset in the sky; and a purple bead, like the blooming lavender. Every time she found a bead, Xiaoli felt that she was one step closer to a huge surprise.
However, no matter how hard Xiaoli searched, the last white bead was like playing hide - and - seek with her and could not be found at all. Xiaoli was a little frustrated, but she didn't give up. One day, when Xiaoli was helping an old granny look for her lost kitten, she found a glittering box in the granny's attic. When she opened the box, there was exactly the white bead inside. The white bead emitted a pure and holy light, like the first snow in winter.
Now, Xiaoli had collected all seven - color beads. When she put the seven - color beads together, the beads suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the lights converged into a huge halo that surrounded Xiaoli. Xiaoli closed her eyes and silently made a wish in her heart: she hoped that the people in the town would be healthy and happy forever, that the small animals in the forest could live happily, and that the town would always be full of vitality and laughter. When the light gradually faded away, Xiaoli found that some wonderful changes had taken place in the town. The houses in the town became more beautiful, the surrounding flowers, plants and trees were more lush, the small animals were more lively and lovely, and people's faces were filled with happy smiles. Xiaoli knew that the seven - color beads had fulfilled her wish.
