Pico was a kind-hearted ogre. However, no one liked him much because he looked so big and bulky. One day, Pico was walking through the woods when he reached a magical place with a beautiful stream. When he drank its water, it tasted like sweet chocolate-shake. Excited, Pico ran home to tell the others. Everyone came running to the woods but he could not find the stream. It seemed as if the magical stream had disappeared. In anger, the people banished Pico from the village for lying. A few days later, a wizard visited Pico’s village. He heard about Pico and said to the villagers, “Pico wasn’t lying. A magical stream exists in the woods. However, only Pico could see it because he is good at heart. You can’t find it as you all are so proud of your beauty and charm.” The villagers apologised to Pico and brought him back. Thereafter, they tried to improve themselves. Soon, they, too, drank chocolate-shake from the magical stream.
