The magic paintbrush

Rose loved drawing. She was very poor and didn’t have pens or pencils. She drew pictures on a sand with sticks. One day an old woman saw Rose and said, “Hello! Here is a paintbrush some paper for you!” “Thank you!”, smiled Rose. She was so happy. She looked around and saw a duck on the pond and she decided to draw a duck. Suddenly the duck flew off the paper and Rose understood that she had a magic paintbrush.

Rose was a very kind girl. She drew pictures for everyone in her village. She drew a cow for the farmer, pencils for teacher, toys for all children.

The king heard about the magic paintbrush and sent a soldier to find Rose. When soldier took Rose to the king, king asked Rose to draw a tree with a lot of money on it. But Rose helped only poor people and king was rich. Rose refused to draw a tree with money for king. The king sent her to the prison. But Rose was brave and clever, she drew a key for the door and escaped from prison. The king chased after her. So she drew a big hole, and splat! The king fell in.
