| 0:00.0 | Malaya had a secret. In some ways, it was an enormous secret, one that she hadn't told anybody, |
| 0:14.0 | but in another way, Malaya's secret was tiny, so small in fact that it could fit right in her pocket. You see, Malaya had a magic crayon. |
| 0:26.4 | It looked like Malaya's other crayons. Like them, it had a yellow label that wrapped around it, |
| 0:32.3 | on which there was a space where the name of the crayon's color was printed. But where the other crayons said |
| 0:38.8 | sunburst yellow or midnight blue or tree top green, the magic crayon simply said, magic. |
| 0:47.2 | It looked like a white crayon, but when Malaya used it, it always seemed to draw in just the |
| 0:53.8 | color she needed. She'd found it in the pack alongside just the color she needed. |
| 0:55.0 | She'd found it in the pack alongside all the other crayons, and had assumed that everyone's |
| 1:00.0 | pack of crayons had a magic crayon in there. |
| 1:03.0 | So surprised was she to learn otherwise that she decided not to tell a soul about her good fortune. |
| 1:10.0 | I expect you're wondering just exactly how the crayon was |
| 1:13.6 | magic. Well, I'll tell you, whatever Malaya chose to draw would come alive. She'd already drawn |
| 1:21.1 | a cartoon cat and a butterfly this way, and now had to hide them both so nobody found out about the crayon. They currently |
| 1:29.4 | lived in her bedroom. This created a problem for Malaya. If you drew something, it would come |
| 1:35.2 | alive. But once it was alive, people might ask where it had come from, allowing them to discover |
| 1:41.5 | the crayon. So, for a long time, Malaya didn't draw anything with the |
| 1:46.4 | magic crayon at all. But what's the point of having a magic crayon if you don't use it? |
| 1:52.8 | Malaya thought about this problem every day, trying to come up with a way around it, until one |
| 1:58.1 | day she had an answer. I know exactly what I'm going to draw, said Malaya with a grin, and from out of her pocket, |
| 2:06.2 | she pulled out the magic crayon. |
| 2:08.3 | What are you doing? asked the cartoon cat, as the crayoned butterfly fluttered overhead. |
| 2:14.8 | I'm drawing something new, replied Malaya. |
