Young Tommy,aged seven,spent all his spare time with a pencil
Young Tommy,aged seven,spent all his spare time with a pencil and crayons,drawing the world as he saw it.
When his mother took him to a park,he did not want to play with the other children.
He did not even want to play on the swings and seesaws.All he wanted to do was draw.
His father was quite worried.
"I don't want Tommy to spend his whole life drawing," he said.
"Why not?" his mother argued."Some people do.Think about all the famous artists.Rembrandt,Gaugin,Van Gogh.Their main interest in life was their art."
"Huh!" Tommy's father said."They had talent.Tommy just draws."
"He's young yet," his mother argued."He'll get better.Anyway,I think he's already showing a lot of ability."
"If he's so good," his father said,"0maybe we'd better find him a teacher.Then he'll learn how to draw properly."
A week later,Tommy had his first lesson with his art teacher.
"Now Tommy," the art teacher said,"I want you to draw a picture of someone important to you."
Tommy began to draw very carefully,making sure every line was exactly where he wanted it.
"What are you drawing a picture of?" the art teacher asked.
"God," Tommy said.
"But no one knows what God looks like," the teacher said.
"They will when rye finished," Tommy replied.
