In a small Chinese town lived a poor young man named Ma Liang. He loved painting. One night, an old man with a white beard visited Ma Liang in his dream. He gave Ma Liang a paintbrush. “Use this magic paintbrush to help the poor,” he said. “But don't use it to help people who are rich and greedy, or the skill will leave your fingers and you will never paint again. ” When Ma Liang woke up, he found the paintbrush lying on the table by his bed. He painted a butterfly and was surprised to see it fly away. Ma Liang ran out of his little house and started painting things for people. He painted a buffalo to help a farmer, food for hungry people and clothes for people who were cold. However, a rich man heard about the paintbrush and asked Ma Liang to paint some gold for him. Ma Liang didn't agree. “If you don't paint for me, I'll cut your fingers off,” said the rich man. “Then you will never paint again. ” So Ma Liang painted an island of gold in the middle of the sea. “How will I get there?” asked the rich man. Ma Liang painted a boat for the rich man. He got in it and went towards the island, laughing. But when the rich man was halfway there, Ma Liang painted a hole in the side of the boat. The boat sank into the water and nobody ever saw the rich man again.
