Then my father allowed me to give the painter a request. I
asked the painter to draw a picture of me. The painter agreed
and asked me to stand still in front of him.
FOR ONLINE USE ONLY

After a short time, he gave me the picture. “This is really
wonderful. This is me!” I said. It showed my face and the front
part of my body. I asked the painter, “Why doesn’t it show
my back?” He said, “My little one, this picture is a sketch of

you seen from the front. That is why you had to stand still in
front of me.”

I asked again, “What are the uses of pictures?” He said that
pictures are used for decorating places. Pictures can also help
to identify something that one has never seen. He asked me,
“Have you ever drawn a picture?” I replied, “Yes. I have drawn

pictures, but they have not been good.”
