Rose loved drawing. She was very poor and didn’t have pens or pencils. She drew pictures on a sand with sticks. One day an old woman saw Rose and said, “Hello! Here is a paintbrush some paper for you!” “Thank you!”, smiled Rose. She was so happy. She looked around and saw a duck on the pond and she decided to draw a duck. Suddenly the duck flew off the paper and Rose understood that she had a magic paintbrush.
Rose was a very kind girl. She drew pictures for everyone in her village. She drew a cow for the farmer, pencils for teacher, toys for all children.
The king heard about the magic paintbrush and sent a soldier to find Rose. When soldier took Rose to the king, king asked Rose to draw a tree with a lot of money on it.
