Lilo selalu juara menggambar antar pelajar, di balik bakatnya itu Lilo ternyata iri dengan temannya yang mempunyai pensil yang bagus serta Lilo sering di bully oleh temannya yang tidak suka dengan gambarnya Lilo karena gambar Lilo jelek padahal gambarnya sudah bagus menurut orang lain, Lilo sangat sedih karena beberapa temannya tidak suka dengannya.

Suatu ketika saat Lilo pulang sekolah bersama sahabatnya di kelasnya, dia melihat seorang kakek tua yang sedang meringis sambil kelaparan dan dagangannya belum laku, akhirnya Lilo dan teman-temannya datangi kakek tua itu dan ternyata kakek itu kelaparan dan dua pensil itu belum ada yang beli sama sekali, Lilo dan teman-temannya membeli makanan untuk kakek itu dan kakek itu berterima kasih kepada mereka. Pensil itu sangat bagus dan Lilo membeli dua batang pensil itu, saat mau membayar kakek itu bilang "Tidak usah bayar nak, ambil saja uangnya", dan Lilo bilang "Uang ini untuk kakek saja kasihan kakek harus kelaparan dan tidak ada uang sama sekali". Akhirnya kakek itu menerima uang dari Lilo.

Malam harinya setelah mengerjakan PR, Lilo akhirnya mendapatkan pensil dari kakek itu dan dia segera mengambil buku gambarnya dan dia menggambar bunga, Lilo mengambil pensil warna itu di lemarinya dan setelah mengambil pensil warna alangkah terkejutnya Lilo dan dia melihat buku gambar itu kosong dan gambar bunga itu menjadi wujud nyata, Lilo bingung dan akhirnya dia gambar lagi dan dia menggambar buku dan ternyata muncul. Lilo menyebut ini mukjizat karena pensil itu ajaib.

Keesokan harinya setelah pulang sekolah Lilo bertemu dengan kakek itu karena pensil itu ajaib dan menurut kakek itu pensil ini hanya digunakan untuk orang yang baik seperti Lilo dan teman-temannya dan kalau dipakai oleh orang jahat seperti musuh atau yang membully akan mendapatkan ganjaran setimpalnya dari pensil itu.

Apakah Lilo berhasil mempertahankan pensil itu karena membantu orang yang kesusahan atau justru jadi rebutan oleh musuhnya Lilo.

Elisse Lilo, a little girl who loves drawing and painting, had shown her talent since she was just four years old her very first drawing was a house. Lilo always won student drawing competitions. But behind her talent, she secretly felt jealous of a friend who owned high-quality pencils. Worse, she was often bullied by classmates who claimed her drawings were “ugly", even though many others thought her work was beautiful. Their hurtful words made Lilo very sad.

One day, while walking home from school with her close friends, Lilo saw an elderly man grimacing in hunger as he sat beside his small stall. None of his goods had sold. Lilo and her friends approached him and learned that he was starving and the two pencils he was selling had not been bought by anyone. The children bought food for the old man, and he thanked them with teary eyes. The pencils were actually very good, so Lilo decided to buy both of them. But when she tried to pay, the old man said, “No need to pay, child. Keep your money.”

Lilo shook her head. “This money is for you, Grandpa. You’re hungry and have no money.”

Moved, the old man accepted the money.

That night, after finishing her homework, Lilo took out the pencils she had bought from him. She opened her sketchbook and drew a flower. When she reached into her cupboard for her colored pencils and looked back, she was shocked. The page was blank. The flower she drew had appeared in real life right in front of her.

Confused but excited, Lilo drew again this time a book and it appeared too. Lilo realized this was a miracle: the pencils were magical.

The next day, after school, Lilo met the old man again. She told him about the pencils, and the old man smiled gently. He explained that the pencils could only be used by kind-hearted people like Lilo and her friends. But if the pencils were misused by bad people like bullies or those with ill intentions the pencils would give them the punishment they deserved.

Can Lilo protect the magical pencils because she used them to help someone in need? Or will her enemies try to take them away?
