  Jimmy started painting1 when he was2 three years old, and when he was five, he was already3 very good at it. He painted many beautiful and interesting pictures, and people paid4 a lot of money for them. They said5, "This boy's going6 to be famous7 when he's little older, and then we're going to sell these pictures for a lot more money."
  吉米三岁开始画画,五岁时已经画得很好了。他画了很多美丽而有趣的画,人们出高价购买。他们说,"这个孩子长大一点肯定会出名,我们可以靠这些画大赚一笔。"
  Jimmy's pictures were different from other people's because he never painted on all of the paper. He painted on half of it, and the other half was always empty.

  有一天,一个人买了吉米的画,然后问他:"请告诉我,吉米,你为什么总是在纸的下半部分画画,而不是在纸的上半部分?"
  "Because I'm small," Jimmy said, "and my burshes don't reach11 very high."
