  Once there was a boy in Toronto. His name was Jimmy. He started painting when he was three years old, and when he was five he was already very good at it. He painted(绘画) many beautiful and interesting pictures, and a lot of people bought his pictures.They said, "This boy is going to be famous when he's a little older, and then we're going to sell these pictures for a lot of money."

  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.

  "That's very clever, " everybody said. "No other painters have ever done that! "

  One day somebody asked him, "Please tell me this, Jimmy. Why do you paint on the bottom(底) half of your pictures, but not on the top half? "
