The magic paintbrush
The magic paintbrush Story Time
Rose loved drawing. She was very poor and didn’t have pens
or pencils. She drew pictures in the sand with sticks. One
day, an old woman saw Rose and said, ‘Hello! Here’s a
paintbrush and some paper for you.’
‘Thank you!’ smiled Rose. She was so happy. ‘Hmmm, what
can I paint?’ she thought. She looked around and saw a duck on the pond. ‘I know! I’ll
paint a duck!’
So she did. Suddenly, the duck flew off the paper and onto the pond. ‘Wow!’ she said. ‘A
magic paintbrush!’
Rose was a very kind girl and she painted pictures for everyone in her village. She
painted a cow for the farmer, pencils for the teacher and toys for all the children.
The king heard about the magic paintbrush and sent a soldier to find Rose. ‘Come with
me,’ said the soldier. ‘The king wants you to paint some money for him.’
‘But he’s already rich,’ said Rose. ‘I only paint to help poor people.’
But the nasty soldier took Rose to the king. ‘Paint me a tree with lots of money on it,’
he shouted.
Rose was brave and said, ‘No!’ So the king sent her to prison. But Rose painted a key
for the door and a horse to help her escape. The king chased after her. So she painted
a big hole, and splat! The king fell in.
Today, Rose only uses her magic paintbrush to help people who really, really need
help.
What will I be when I grow up?
When I grow up I’ll work with animals. I don’t know
which job yet.
Maybe like my brother. He’s a special vet.
He looks after scary snakes, some just out of eggs.
He says that snakes are easy as they don’t have any
legs.
My father is a scientist. He works to save rare birds.
Some are really clever and can even say some words.
“How do you do.”
My mother is a dog groomer. She loves dogs big or
small.
Once she styled a poodle. It looked just like a ball.
My sister, she trains dolphins. They practise in the
pool.
She hears the dolphins talk and sing. That sounds
really cool!
So many animal jobs to choose but which one’s right
for me?
Because I’m only ten years old, I’ll have to wait and
see!
