| Once there was a boy in London. His name was Jimmy. He started painting when he was three years old, and when he was five years old, he was already very good at it. He painted many beautiful and interesting pictures, and a lot of people bought his pictures. They said, "This boy is going to be famous when he's a little older, and then we're going to sell these pictures for a lot of money." Jimmy's pictures were different from others' because he never painted on the whole of the paper. He painted on half of it, and the other half was always empty. "That's very clever," people said. "No other painters have ever done that!" One day someone asked Jimmy, "Please tell me, Jimmy, why do you only paint on the bottom (底) half of the paper, but not on the top half?" "Because I'm small," Jimmy said, "and my brushes can't reach very high." |
