Long long ago， there was a boy. His name was Ma Liang.

He liked drawing very much. One night， he had a dream*. An old man gave him a paintbrush（畫筆） and said， “It is a magic paintbrush. It can make your drawings come to life.* Please use it to help the poor* people.”

When Ma Liang woke up（醒來）， he found the magic paintbrush on the desk. From then on*， Ma Liang drew for the poor people every day.
