The Magic Paintbrush

Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a poor but talented artist named Mei. Mei loved to paint, but she could not afford the expensive paints and brushes needed to create her art. One day, while walking through the forest, Mei stumbled upon a magical paintbrush.

The paintbrush was made of gold and had a shimmering handle. When Mei picked it up, she felt a surge of energy and knew that this was no ordinary paintbrush. Excited, Mei hurried back to her tiny cottage and started to paint.

To her amazement, the paintbrush created beautiful, lifelike paintings with just a flick of her wrist. Mei painted landscapes, portraits, and scenes from her imagination. People from all over the village came to see her art and were amazed by the talent she possessed.

Word of Mei's magical paintbrush spread far and wide, reaching the ears of the greedy village chief. The chief demanded that Mei give him the paintbrush so he could use it for his own gain. Mei refused, knowing that the paintbrush was a gift that should not be used for selfish purposes.

Enraged, the chief ordered his men to steal the paintbrush from Mei's cottage. But when they tried to touch it, the paintbrush disappeared in a puff of smoke, reappearing back in Mei's hands. The chief was furious and vowed to take revenge on Mei.

But Mei had a plan. She used the paintbrush to paint a giant dragon that came to life and chased the chief and his men out of the village. From that day on, Mei continued to create beautiful art with her magic paintbrush, bringing joy and wonder to all who saw her work.

And so, the village lived happily ever after, with Mei's art inspiring generations to come.

　　“I can't guess,”answered the small boy.“And that man wasn't my daddy. I've never seen him before in my life. I was playing in the street this morning, and he came up to me and asked me whether I'd like to have my hair cut without having to pay anything. I said I would, because my hair was rather long, so he brought me here.”
